Abstract
At MIT, a multi-disciplinary team of researchers from the House_n:
MIT Home of the Future Consortium is studying how to create pervasive computing environments for the home. We are developing technologies
and design strategies that use context-aware sensing to empower people with information by presenting it at precisely the right time and
place. Contrary to many visions of future home environments in the literature, we
advocate an approach that uses technology to teach as opposed to using technology primarily for automated control. We have designed
(but not yet constructed) a "living laboratory" that will provide a
unique, flexible infrastructure for scientifically studying the power of pervasive computing for motivating learning and behavior change in
the home.
Keywords
Home of the future, living laboratory, context-aware computing, user
interface, sensing, component-based construction, motivating behavior
change, persuasive computing, education.
