Abstract

In this paper, we propose "pHotOluck" (a word coined by mixing "potluck" and "photo"), which is a novel tableware system for vitalizing mealtime communication by projecting photos taken by people who have a meal together onto special dishes. We conducted several experiments to investigate people's behaviors and communications, comparing pHotOluck with an ordinary photo viewing system that displays photos on a normal LCD PC display and with printed photos. The results of the experiments showed that pHotOluck could vitalize mealtime communications and offered everyone on equal chance to initiate communication although, compared to a normal photo viewing system and printed photos, pHotOluck is not so good as a photoviewer.

pHotOluck:一款家用餐具，通过将照片投射到盘子上，为用餐时间的交流增添活力

在本文中，我们提出了“pHotOluck”(由potluck和photo混合而成的词)，这是一种新颖的餐具系统，通过将一起用餐的人拍摄的照片投射到特殊的菜肴上，从而激活用餐时的交流。我们进行了几个实验来调查人们的行为和交流，将pHotOluck与在普通LCD PC显示器上显示照片的普通照片查看系统和打印照片进行比较。实验结果表明，pHotOluck可以激活用餐时间的交流，并为每个人提供平等的机会发起交流，尽管与普通的照片查看系统和打印照片相比，pHotOluck不如照片查看器那么好。
