Abstract:
This study aims at developing a new user research method that uses IoT sensors embedded at users' homes to enable users to recall their memories. The proposed method was evaluated by experiments where four participants individually created user journey maps with quantity data that was collected for seven days. The results showed that IoT sensor data increased the quantity, clarity, and accuracy of recalled memories. This study argues that IoT sensors can be an effective approach to increasing user research quality by triggering users' memories without interfering with users' ordinary lives.
