Taking Others' Perspectives Enhances Situation Awareness in the Smart Home Interface

Abstract

In the smart home environment, all devices are connected to each other and are shared by co-users living together. This may make people's interactions with the devices more complicated, owing not only to the difficulty of meeting each co-user's tastes with respect to how the devices operate, but also to variations in the frequency of device use among family members. If so, it is inevitable that using multiple devices by multiple users can lead to difficulty maintaining situation awareness. Therefore, to relieve such interaction problems caused by the presence of co-users, we examined the effect of spontaneous visuospatial perspective taking on situation awareness with respect to the smart home interface. To this end, we measured whether merely the affordance of other users can elicit spontaneous visuospatial perspective-taking, replicating previous research. We also examined whether the affordances of other users can help enhance situation awareness in the mock-up smart home interface design we created. When participants adopted affordances of other users' perspectives, they could easily perceive the information about the devices. However, when they viewed the devices from other's perspective, their understanding of devices mainly used by the self-remained relatively low. Potential reasons for these findings are discussed along with proposals for future research.

Analysis of genetic biomarkers, polymorphisms in ADME-related genes and their impact on pharmacotherapy for prostate cancer

“…Recently, the GAS5 gene encoded LncRNA termed Growth arrest-specific 5 (GAS5) was found to act as a tumor suppressor in prostate, breast, lung, and colorectal cancers. It is considered that GAS5 may be involved in the migration, invasion, proliferation, and metastasis of PCa cells; however, the exact GAS5 expression level is still controversial in PCa cells [ 78 ]. Several studies have evidence that the down-regulation of microRNA-21/microRNA-1284 and up-regulation of PTEN/ PCDC4/AKT are linked with the expression of GAS5 to induce apoptosis and reduce the proliferation rate of prostate cancer cells (Fig.…”

Analysis of Genetic Biomarkers, Polymorphisms in ADME-Related Genes and their Impact on Pharmacotherapy for Prostate Cancer

“…Previously, the clinical diagnosis was based on the digital examination or detection of blood levels of prostate-speci c antigen Recently, the GAS5 gene encoded LncRNA termed Growth arrest-speci c 5 (GAS5) was found to act as a tumor suppressor in prostate, breast, lung, and colorectal cancers. It is considered that GAS5 may be involved in the migration, invasion, proliferation, and metastasis of PCa cells; however, the exact GAS5 expression level is still controversial in PCa cells [79]. Several studies have evidence that the down-regulation of microRNA-21/microRNA-1284 and upregulation of PTEN/ PCDC4/AKT are linked with the expression of GAS5 to induce apoptosis and reduce the proliferation rate of prostate cancer cells [Figure 1] [47].…”
