The tidiness of an environment can provide important in-formation about individuals who are involved in the target environment, such as their behavior, health and mental con-dition. In this paper, we describe a vision-based approach for measuring tidiness and persuading users to be tidy. Tidi-ness measurement is based on analyzing changes in an image series and comparing them to an image from an ideally or-dered environment. The persuasion process will be carried out by a combination of notifications and rankings. The ex-isting personal and social communication channels of users, such as email and social networking accounts will be em-ployed to persuade them to change their behavior and be-come more obliged to tidiness.
