Lessons for the Future: Experiences with the Installation and Use of Today's Domestic Sensors and Technologies

چکیده
Domestic environments are receiving increasing attention as sites of deployment for pervasive technologies, as evidenced by the growing number of studies of homes and by the maturing of technologies in prototype aware/smart homes. The challenge now is to move technologies out of purpose built homes into everyday environments in ways that will fit with existing buildings and the people who live in them. In this paper we describe our findings from fieldwork designed to gain an understanding of current experiences with technologies in the home that bear similarities with emerging applications: sensors and sophisticated home automation/entertainment systems.
