Abstract

Personal goals are difficult to achieve and healthy habits are not as simple to maintain as people would like to. Often, humans look for help to change unwanted behavior. Technology could help us to overcome the daily struggle faced during the search for behavior improvement. The Persuasive Mirror is an example of how computerize persuasion, in the form of visual feedback, could give the needed support.
