متن کاملUsing a Live-In Laboratory for Ubiquitous Computing Research
Ubiquitous computing researchers are increasingly turning to sensorenabled “living laboratories” for the study of people and technologies in settings more natural than a typical laboratory. We describe the design and operation of the PlaceLab, a new live-in laboratory for the study of ubiquitous technologies in home settings. Volunteer research participants individually live in the PlaceLab for...
