New Concepts for Situated Messaging in the Home

If you have a question about this talk, please contact Alan Blackwell .

In this talk I will describe a field trial designed to investigate the potential of remote, situated messaging within the home. Five households used our “HomeNote” device for approximately a month. The results show a diversity of types of communication which highlight the role of messaging both to a household and to a place. It also shows the ways in which these kinds of messages enable subtle ways of requesting action, expressing affection, and marking identity in a household - communication types which have received little attention in the research literature. These in turn point to new concepts for technology which I will go on to describe.

This talk is part of the Rainbow Graphics Seminars series.
