Revealing Daily Practices through the Study of Micro-Mobility
نویسندگان
چکیده
We discuss micro-mobility, which is the study of the interrelated movements of people, devices, and other actors at a local scale. We also describe an ongoing study that makes use of highly accurate sensing technology to record the paths of residents and their wireless laptop computers. The data from the sensors, along with household interviews, allows us to explore the patterns of everyday behavior involving people and their technology as revealed by their daily movements about their homes, with the goal of motivating new designs for domestic technology that are grounded in actual practice.
