Results show that FitMirror can help users get awake in the morning, raise their motivation to do sports and motivate them for the day.Abstract:
This paper will discuss the concept of a smart mirror for healthier living, the FitMirror. Many people have serious problems to get up after sleeping, to get motivated for the day, or are tired and in a bad mood in the morning. The goal of FitMirror is to positively affect the user's feelings by increasing his/her motivation, mood and feeling of fitness. While concepts for these isolated problems exist, none of these combine them into one system. FitMirror is implemented to combine them and evaluate them in a study. It consists of a monitor with spy-foil, a Microsoft Kinect v2 and a Wii Balance Board and can recognize users and their gestures with these elements. Several hypotheses about the system regarding motivation, fun, difficulty and getting awake were investigated. Participants were grouped by the factors sportspersons and morning persons to investigate the effect based on these aspects. Results show that FitMirror can help users get awake in the morning, raise their motivation to do sports and motivate them for the day.read more
