Abstract

Previously, we developed a Web browser called the EnergyBrowser system that gives people an incentive to exercise. In the EnergyBrowser system, the user wears a motion sensor and walks/runs on a treadmill. Web pages are displayed incrementally in proportion to the rate of walking/running. The user can exercise while browsing the Web. In this paper, we will evaluate the effectiveness of the EnergyBrowser system, which we exhibited at an open house and evaluated using a questionnaire. We will discuss the effectiveness of our system.
