| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this research, I propose a system for breaking poor posture as a user's habit in performing a task. Poor posture in tasks with a video display terminal (VDT) is one of bad habits. Due to poor posture, users who perform tasks might suffer from weakening eyesight and pains on neck and shoulders. To break bad habits, users have to be aware that the habits occurred. While users perform a task, the load of awareness tends to disturb their concentration on it. As a result, users might not accomplish it. Therefore I consider that a method for breaking bad habits should maintain users’ concentration on a task.
I propose a system that makes pseudo-negative effects associated with poor posture on users. The system produces a blur effect on a PC's display while users have poor posture. I conduct experiments on our system about disturbances of VDT tasks and effects on correcting poor posture. The results show that the system does not disturb the tasks and motivates users to correct break it.
