Provenance, the documentation of the origin and history of message data, can be used to reverse the evaluation of a value and change it at its source, so that–after reevaluation–another, desired value emerges. We present a communication pattern as well as a C++ support library for ROS to track the provenance of message data across multiple nodes and apply these source changes. We demonstrate that it is possible to automatically infer interactive 3D user interfaces from standard, non-interactive ROS visualizations by leveraging this additional tracking information. Preliminary results from a prototypical implementation of multiple origin tracking enabled ROS nodes indicate, that this tracking introduces a significant but still practicable message size and serialization performance overhead. To apply this tracking to existing C++ codebases only small, syntactic changes are necessary: a wrapper type around tracked values hides all necessary bookkeeping. Based on these results, we plan to extend the value tracking to incorporate the ROS parameter and launch system and use it in more advanced human-robot interaction use cases such as robot hand-guiding as an input interface to trigger value changes.
