UbiComp2006 Embedding Behavior Modification Strategies into a Consumer Electronic Device Abstract We are exploring how ubiquitous computing devices can drive proactive health applications that deliver behavior modification techniques in ways that are timely, tailored, subtle, and even fun. In this video we present a prototype system called ViTo that is intended to help users watch less TV and become more active. ViTo shows how a suite of behavior change strategies can be integrated into the user interface of a single device, leveraging the convenience and context awareness of mobile technologies. Keywords HCI, human-computer interaction, ubiquitous computing, persuasive technology, handheld devices, behavior modification, physical activity, exercise, health, TV, remote controls.
