Abstract

On school field trips, chaperoning teachers' foremost concern is the safety of the children, particularly ensuring that none of them go missing. However, they have limited attention resources and face many challenges in keeping track of their charges. We present RubberBand, an assistive application that helps alleviate the teacher's burden. Our approach adapts to diverse field trip environmental and child behavioral dynamicity, utilizing observations of the relative dispersion of children and their tendency to form sub-groups.
