Over time we select diverse collections of household things. These “things” are important since we rely on them to make our everyday lives purposeful and meaningful. The diverse belongings are integral to our daily routines and practices. They often go beyond their intended design to be adapted to serve new purposes like a fruit bowl near the door for keys, an armchair to place your purse, a mirror with a grocery list tucked into the frame. These belongings are vital to coordinating, organizing, and sharing in our home. They also find personal, historical and habitual uses that are not designed for efficiency or convenience. It is important that these belongings are simple, flexible, and easily appropriated by us for new uses to serve our precise, unique needs and desires. Given the emergence of the Internet of Things (IoT), digital technologies are increasingly becoming a part of our homes. However, the complexity, rigid functionality, and device-like designs of these technologies strongly limit our ability to customize and adapt them to fit our needs. ******This research investigates the design of household objects with embedded technologies and connectivity made of everyday materials. These are designed to leverage human intelligence through everyday routines and practices and to combine digital with non-digital functionality. For example, the pale yellow ceramic bowl next to your door tilted left on its own when you put your keys in it and remains that way signaling you do not have your keys in hand. While the smaller blue bowl on the kitchen counter that held your phone has leveled itself showing you removed the phone and put it in your bag. The wooden clock in the hallway gently chimes signaling that your neighbor has left her house and is on her way over to walk your children to school together. Thankfully, the weave of your favourite basket holding umbrellas is now more open signaling no rain today! These everyday things are simple, intelligible forms requiring no interface while remaining open to potential alternative digital and non-digital uses. This approach provides resourcefulness through domestic technology that beneficially leverages human practices.******This research develops a technical platform of things with embedded technologies and networking. We will use this platform to investigate mulitple case study applications of different user-driven applications in the home. Each case study examines the balance and relationships between digital and non-digital functionality, the challenges of a limited user interface and non-traditional interactions, and the need for transparency and privacy when designing connected technologies for homes. The research will advance theory, create design exemplars, extend digital fabrication in HCI research, and provide a toolkit for connected everyday things. Findings will lead to greater integration and quality of user adoption, and long-term sustainable use.

随着时间的推移，我们选择各种各样的家居用品非常重要，因为我们依靠它们来使我们的日常生活变得有意义和有意义。它们常常超出了它们的预期设计。可以适应新的用途，比如门边放钥匙的水果盘、放钱包的扶手椅、镜框里塞着购物清单的镜子，这些物品对于我们家里的协调、整理和分享也至关重要。找到个人的、历史的和鉴于物联网（IoT）的出现，这些物品必须简单、灵活且易于被我们用于新用途，以满足我们精确、独特的需求和愿望。 ）），数字技术越来越成为我们家庭的一部分，但是，这些技术的复杂性、严格的功能和类似设备的设计限制了我们定制和调整它们以满足我们的需求的能力。研究调查了采用嵌入式技术和由日常材料制成的连接性的家居用品的设计。旨在通过日常生活和实践利用人类智能，并将数字与非数字功能结合起来。例如，当您将钥匙放入门旁边的淡黄色陶瓷碗时，它会自行向左倾斜，并保持这种状态发出信号。你手里没有钥匙，而厨房柜台上放手机的小蓝色碗已经放平，表明你已取出手机并将其放入包中。走廊上的木钟轻轻地鸣响，表明你的邻居已经拿走了钥匙。离开了她的家，正要去遛你的孩子值得庆幸的是，你最喜欢的撑着雨伞的篮子的编织方式现在更加开放，表明今天没有下雨！这些日常用品都是简单易懂的形式，不需要界面，同时对潜在的数字和非数字用途保持开放。通过有益于利用人类实践的国内技术来发挥智慧。******本研究开发了一个具有嵌入式技术和网络的物联网技术平台，我们将使用该平台来研究家庭中不同用户驱动应用程序的多个案例研究应用程序。 .每个案例研究都会检查平衡和数字和非数字功能之间的关系、有限的用户界面和非传统交互的挑战，以及设计家庭互联技术时对透明度和隐私的需求。该研究将推进理论、创建设计范例、扩展数字制造。 HCI 研究并为日常互联提供工具包，研究结果将带来更大的集成度和用户采用的质量以及长期的可持续使用。
