Abstract

Modern transportation has changed our lifestyle and allowed for many more options for the daily commute. Particularly in Taiwan, a unique regional phenomenon is that people tend to travel to almost anywhere by scooter. With the intention of replacing the scooter ride for short-distance journeys with walking, we introduce a system called "HappyFeet", which encourages users to walk more with various interactive ways. The user testing demonstrated that the users were enthusiastic about our design and they provided positive feedback as well as some comments for ways to improve.
