Eilidh's notebook
Eilidh and I have paired up for the current project. Here is our first statement-of-intent which we will continue to develop in the next few weeks. Keep an eye on Eilidh’s blog for more notes and pictures.
Given a world in which everyday objects are networked through an Internet of Things and ubiquitous computing helps augment our lives, how can this technology help us gain insights about the actions that make up our daily routines? How can these insights be delivered in an emotional way that encourage us to reflect on the way we lead our lives and the affect it has on the rest of society?
One of the greatest values of this new technology is the ease in which it can provide information about specific products and help us gain new perspective on our daily actions. If household items, personal belongings and new devices could be used to motivate people to take make small changes to their lifestyle, the effect could be positive for the entire society.
Essentially, we want to pursue the notion of Internet of Things and Personal Informatics and how these can provide people with meaningful and relevant data to help make more sustainable and socially responsible decisions.
