Ubicomp的开发人员越来越多地借鉴其他学科，如人类学和创意设计，以告知他们的设计过程。在本文中，我们证明了历史学科同样可以为ubicomp研究提供很多东西。具体来说，我们描述了一个历史接地的方法来设计ubicomp系统和应用程序的家庭。我们从一项研究中发现了老龄化和家务劳动，展示了我们的方法如何有助于ubicomp开发人员了解文化价值观对家庭技术的影响，重新理解家庭空间，并刺激新设计空间的发展。我们的研究结果表明，以历史为基础的研究方法可能有助于更深入地理解和设计家庭内外的环境。
Ubicomp developers are increasingly borrowing from other disciplines, such as anthropology and creative design, to inform their design process. In this paper, we demonstrate that the discipline of history similarly has much to offer ubicomp research. Specifically, we describe a historically-grounded approach to designing ubicomp systems and applications for the home. We present findings from a study examining aging and housework that demonstrate how our approach can be useful to sensitize ubicomp developers to the impact of cultural values on household technology, to reunderstand the home space, and to spur development of new design spaces. Our findings suggest that historically-grounded research approaches may be useful in more deeply understanding and designing for context both in and outside of the home.
