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.

我们生活在一个信息的黄金时代，计算和传感技术收集和生成大量的数据，互联网为大众提供了数据存储和操作的便利。 越来越多的兴趣领域是如何将这些数据提供给消费者，以提高对他/她生活的某些方面的认识。 该项目研究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。 我们的目标是确定如何设计这样的显示器，并将其有效地集成到家庭生活的结构中，以支持对能源消耗习惯的认识。 研究人员将调查将反馈设备集成到家庭中的几个重要方面，包括：* 美学和实用性之间的权衡 * 数据隐私考虑 * 此类设备对家庭日常生活的影响，反之亦然 * 支持多居民家庭中的动机和系统采用这些问题通过研究真实的家庭中的真实的人来最有效地解决。 因此，研究人员将采取以用户为中心的方法，通过实地考察和长期部署的设计在真实的家庭的启发，通知和评估设计。该项目的结果不仅适用于能源消费意识，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。 例子包括支持健身和营养习惯的意识或日常生活活动的反馈（用药，睡眠，饮食等）。为老年人养老的地方。
