Ambient and Ubiquitous Visualization for Sustainability

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Distributed sensing and data collection mechanisms are making a wealth of data about resource consumption available to residents. Visualizing this information in ways that are meaningful and contextually appropriate will help to bridge the gap between data and informed decisions about how to sustainably use resources. This research program will examine how different visualization approaches, from typical information displays to more embedded and ambient representations, can be used to help people understand and manage their energy use in non-desktop contexts: in the home, at school and in public environments. It supports conservation activities, and particularly reducing energy use, requires a range of visualization techniques to aid informed decision-making.
