WearReport: Avoiding clothe conflict against friends based on shared wearing history

Our clothes affect other's impression of us. When a person stands by one of his/her friends who wears a similar clothe to his/hers, he/she is unwillingly conspicuous or his/her characteristics of clothe are diminished. To avoid such a problematic situation, we proposed a wearing history sharing system named WearReport. It enables users to take their clothe photos easily and to share their wearing histories for avoiding wearing similar clothes each other. With WearReport, users can see the history of their and their friends' clothes at a glance. The history visualization is based on the photos which are semi-automatically taken at the entrance of their home every morning. It enables users to estimate which clothes their friends may wear today. As the result of empirical evaluation, participants could estimate the color of other participants' clothes, but there were no cases for avoiding clothe conflict.
