Understanding Perceptions
Monitoring devices are known to
influence the behavior of those
being observed, potentially causing issues with the data collected.
This is a serious problem for ubiquitous computing, and motivates
the need for the predictive PSABI model. This paper describes a
study exploring the influence of
culture as an exogenous moderating variable on perceptions of a
wearable monitoring system. The
results show signs that those workers in the Kyoto University, Japan,
saliently perceive the UM system
negatively. A greater understanding of these perceptions could lead
to more effective ways of introducing technology to new users,
improving the user's subsequent
experiences.
