虽然数据是家庭物联网（IoT）功能和经济模型的支柱，但对于家庭居民来说，数据仍然难以捉摸且抽象。作为回应，我们提出了Odd Interpreters（OIs）：三个工件的集合，这些工件实现了在家庭环境中处理物联网数据的替代方式。OIs将家庭数据重塑为富有想象力的声音（广播），褪色的织物（软褪色）和饼干配方（数据面包店），旨在揭示隐藏的人类劳动和数据的物质基础设施，并批评数据的假设客观性。遵循通过设计进行研究的方法，我们将设计事件分解为标记我们制作Odd解释器的过程。最后，我们讨论了多元化数据接触的必要性，在错觉和精确之间进行设计的策略，以及在设计时与原型一起生活的反思。
While data are the backbone for home Internet of Things’ (IoT) functional and economic model, data remain elusive and abstract for home dwellers. In response, we present the Odd Interpreters (OIs): a collection of three artifacts that materialize alternative ways of engaging with IoT data in home environments. The OIs recast home data as imaginative sounds (Broadcast), fading fabric (Soft Fading), and cookie recipes (Data Bakery) with the intent to reveal the hidden human labor and material infrastructures of data and to critique data's assumed objectivity. Following a Research-through-Design approach, we unpack design events that mark our process for making the Odd Interpreters. We conclude with a discussion around the need for pluralizing data encounters, the tactic of designing between illusion and precision, and a reflection on living with the prototypes while designing.
