ABSTRACT
In this research, we suggest an interactive ambient lighting called HabitStar that helps users improve habits. HabitStar is a star-shaped lighting that can connect with the HabitStar mobile application. The lighting is synchronized with the app by the network server. The user can interact with both the lighting and the app to manage their habits. It helps the user recognize their goals by making them self-record their trials. It also encourages minimum approach for changing habits by providing the norm data as an indicator for practical goals. The lighting can help the user stay motivated by its ambient visualization.
