We are living in a golden age of information where computing and sensing technology collect and generate tremendous amounts of data and the Internet facilities data storage and manipulation by the masses. A growing area of interest is how to provide this data back to the consumer to improve awareness of some aspect of his/her life. This project investigates the use of always-on interactive displays (much like a wall clock) to support awareness with a particular focus on awareness of energy consumption in the home. The goal is to identify how such displays can be designed and effectively integrated into the fabric of home life to support awareness of energy consumption habits. Researchers will investigate several important aspects of integrating feedback devices into the home, including: * The tradeoffs between aesthetics and utility * Data privacy considerations* The effect of such devices on home routines and vice versa* Supporting motivation and system adoption in a multi-inhabitant home These issues are most effectively addressed by studying real people in real households. Thus, researchers will undertake user-centered methods to inspire, inform, and evaluate designs through fieldwork and long-term deployments of designs in real homes. The results of this project will apply to not only energy consumption awareness, but more broadly to other areas where data feedback and reflection may promote personal awareness. Examples include supporting awareness of fitness and nutrition habits or feedback of activities of everyday life (medicating, sleeping, eating, etc.) for the elderly aging in place.

我们生活在信息的黄金时代，计算和传感技术收集并生成大量数据，互联网为大众提供数据存储和操作的便利。 人们越来越感兴趣的领域是如何将这些数据提供给消费者，以提高他们对生活某些方面的认识。 该项目研究了使用始终在线的交互式显示器（很像挂钟）来支持意识，特别关注家庭能源消耗的意识。 目标是确定如何设计此类显示器并将其有效地集成到家庭生活中，以支持人们对能源消耗习惯的认识。 研究人员将研究将反馈设备集成到家庭中的几个重要方面，包括：*美观与实用之间的权衡*数据隐私考虑*此类设备对家庭日常事务的影响，反之亦然*支持多居民的动机和系统采用通过研究真实家庭中的真实人物，可以最有效地解决这些问题。 因此，研究人员将采用以用户为中心的方法，通过实地考察和在真实家庭中长期部署设计来激发、告知和评估设计。该项目的结果不仅适用于能源消耗意识，而且更广泛地适用于数据反馈和反思可能促进个人意识的其他领域。 例如，支持老年人的健身和营养习惯意识或日常生活活动（药物、睡眠、饮食等）的反馈。
