智能家居技术看起来将成为家庭生活中越来越普遍的特征。然而，对技术创新的商业渴望，而不是明确的用户需求，往往是智能家居产品和服务发展背后的驱动力。这项研究采用了Gaver等人开发的文化探索方法。[2]主要收集有关人们在家庭环境中价值的视觉数据。虽然文化探测器主要用于在设计产品概念时与用户建立同理心，但当设计过程和项目背景需要更有条理地考虑用户需求时，这种方法试图为数据收集提供类似的有趣和吸引人的提示。本文介绍了开发的方法，项目的调查结果和建议如何应用该方法。
Smart Home technology looks set to become an increasingly common feature of domestic life. However commercial desire for technical innovation rather than explicit user needs are often the driving force behind the development of Smart Home products and services. This study adapts the Cultural Probe approach developed by Gaver et al. [2] to collect primarily visual data about what people value within their home environment. Whereas Cultural Probes are predominantly used to build empathy with users when designing product concepts, this approach attempted to provide similarly fun and engaging prompts for data collection when the design process and project context required more structured consideration of user needs. This paper presents the method developed, project findings and recommendations on how the method should be applied.
