Abstract

A destination board is a board that is often placed on the door of a room to notify visitors of the user's current location. The system proposed in this paper is as follows: A user who wants to notify other people of his/her location takes a photograph of his/her current location. The photograph is automatically transmitted to the computer that is mounted on the door of his/her room. Visitors are shown the photograph and recognize the location shown in the photograph. Visitors can also leave some graffiti on the photo. I constructed a prototype system and performed the initial experiment. The results show that visitors often recognize the user's current location from the photograph and sometimes leave some graffiti on the image.
