Abstract

"Healthy Shelf" is an interactive nutritional label system. User-centered design process was used to create the labels with HTML and JavaScript for deployment on kiosks attached to supermarket shelves. Users change the serving size on the nutritional labels and the labels then calculate nutritional values. The interactive labels also display comparisons of nutritional values. We evaluated a prototype of the system and found that participants liked the idea of using interactive nutritional labels while shopping and they make more accurate serving size.
