Note: this is for the RecipeHelperProxemics

Proximity between people

  • Social Proximity: being separated (to test, move towards the left of the Kinect device) will split the instructions into two sides
  • Personal Proximity: being close (to test, move towards the right of the Kinect device) will merge the instructions into the current step
  • Intimate Proximity: extending the arm changes the steps (left arm for previous step, right arm for next step)

Proximity between person and screen

  • Intimate Proximity: tapping the button Saad/Jack will assign a step
  • Personal Proximity: raising the arm gets additional information
