The Aware Home: A living laboratory for technologies for successful aging
We describe our ongoing research in the area of developing and testing technologies for successful aging. Sensing and perception technologies can enable a home environment to be aware of the whereabouts and activities of its occupants. Motivated by the desire to use such an awareness to help maintain independence and quality of life for an aging population, we describe the technological, design...
متن کاملExploring Widespread Deployment through Infrastructure-Mediated Sensing
Ubiquitous computing research in the home has traditionally involved approximating the actual home environment with a "living laboratory," which is equipped with a rich set of sensors, network infrastructure, and computation resources. Living laboratories such as the Aware Home at Georgia Tech and the PlaceLab at MIT allow the deployment of a large variety of sensors to capture human activity i...
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...
متن کاملThe Placelab: a Live-in Laboratory for Pervasive Computing Research (video)
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 and interactions of everyday home life can be observed, recorded for later analysis, and experimentally manipulated. Volunteer research participants individually live in the PlaceLab for days or weeks at a time, t...
متن کاملIntegrating Privacy Enhancing Services in Ubiquitous Computing Environments
With the advances in pervasive wireless communications (such as GSM, WaveLAN, Bluetooth, etc.) and context-aware and ‘smart room’ prototypes (GUIDE [1], AT&T’s Sentient Computing [2], Oxygen [3], Easy Living [4], the Aware Home [5], etc.), Mark Weiser’s vision of ubiquitous computing seems closer than ever to reality. However, only until such systems are widely deployed and integrated with our ...
