Abstract

Technology increasingly mediates our everyday interactions with food, ranging from its production and handling to the experience of preparing and eating it with friends and family. However, it is unclear whether these technologies support decisions conducive to a healthy diet. In this work, we devised the first heuristics for evaluating a technology’s support for food literacy: the interconnected combination of awareness, knowledge, and skills to empower individuals to make informed food choices. We applied an iterative, expert-driven process to derive and refine our heuristics, starting with an established food literacy framework. We then conducted evaluations with Nutrition and HCI experts to show how the heuristics support the summative and formative design and evaluations of food-related technologies. We show that the heuristics are valuable design tools and that they help participants reflect on food literacy challenges. We also discuss tensions between nutrition and HCI best practices.

Food Literacy while Shopping: Motivating Informed Food Purchasing Behaviour with a Situated Gameful App
CHI '20: Proceedings of the 2020 CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems

Establishing healthy eating patterns early in life is critical and has implications for lifelong health. Situated interventions are a promising approach to improve eating patterns. However, HCI research has emphasized calorie control and weight loss, ...
TV as a Multimedia Synchronous Communication for Cooking and Eating Activities: Analysis of TV Cooking Shows in Hong Kong
ISM '10: Proceedings of the 2010 IEEE International Symposium on Multimedia

TV can be considered to be a synchronous tool for multimedia communication to deliver contents like cooking and eating activities. In this paper, we propose a framework of multimedia for cooking and eating activities. It consists of three facets namely ...
