Abstract
A four-leaf clover (FLC) symbolizes luck and happiness worldwide, but it is hard to distinguish it from the common three-leaf clover. While AI technology can assist in searching for FLC, it may not replicate the traditional search's sense of achievement. This study explores searcher feelings when AI aids the FLC search. In this study, we developed a system called ``Happiness Finder'' that uses object detection algorithms on smartphones or tablets to support the search. We exhibited HappinessFinder at an international workshop, allowing participants to experience four-leaf clover searching using potted artificial clovers and the HappinessFinder app. This paper reports the findings from this demonstration.
