Abstract
This note discusses preliminary ideas on evaluation the effectiveness of a wearable’s role which we restric to autonomously providing advice on what may be interesting for a user to do. Our idea is to view a piece of advice as entailing an expectation on future behavior, and to track user behavior in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the advice. The full validation of the wearable, when taken along similar lines, requires to track how improved interests lead to new user behaviors, and we are starting to see how this could be done . The work reported in this poster presentation fits in a larger project called COMRIS1,in which a wearable is being developed for use in a social context.
COMRIS (project number 26900) is partially funded by the EU in its long term research initiative on Intelligent Information Interfaces (i3). COMRIS stands for Co-Habited Mixed Reality Information Spaces. See arti.vub.ac.be/~comris. The views expressed in this paper are not necessarily those of the COMRIS consortium.
