ABSTRACT:
Briefly, in accordance with one or more embodiments, a user experiencing cognitive decline or a similar affliction may be assisted with the performance of daily tasks or routines. An information handling system installed in a central room of the user's living quarters, such as a kitchen, to observe the user and determine if the user is having difficulty completing the task or routine. If it is determined that the user is experiencing difficulty, the information handling system may provide one or more cues to the user to assist the user in remembering what the user has just completed in order to indicate to the user what part of the task remains to be completed. For example, the steps recently taken by the user may be retraced by projecting an image of those footsteps onto the floor to show the user where she has recently been.
