Ubiquitous computing researchers are increasingly turning to sensor-enabled “living
laboratories” for the study of people and technologies in settings more natural than a typical …

We introduce the PlaceLab, a new "living laboratory" for the study of ubiquitous technologies
in home settings. The PlaceLab is a tool for researchers developing context-aware and …

Three tools for acquiring data about people, their behavior, and their use of technology in
natural settings are described: (1) a context-aware experience sampling tool, (2) a ubiquitous …

We explore the use of ubiquitous sensing in the home for context-sensitive microlearning. To
assess how users would respond to frequent and brief learning interactions tied to context, …

Background: Advances in ubiquitous computing, smart homes, and sensor technologies
enable novel, longitudinal health monitoring applications in the home. Many home monitoring …

In this video, we introduce the PlaceLab, a live-in laboratory for the study of ubiquitous
computing technologies in the home. The PlaceLab is a real home where the routine activities …

Embedded assessment leverages the capabilities of pervasive computing to advance early
detection of health conditions. In this approach, technologies embedded in the home setting …

In this paper, we argue that new technologies and strategies for design can enable a more
responsive model for creating places of living. We describe work by the House_n Research …

Interface design for the home requires a realistic understanding of the complexity and
richness of the human activities that go on there; it is our goal to develop tools that enable HCI …

AltarNation allows physically isolated individuals to participate in communities of meditation
and tailor thier own meditative practices. By lighting candles, users enter a shared virtual …
