Family members share memories and stories with each other in a collocated fashion using material objects to collectively remember and reminiscence on past experiences. Today, family members accumulate vast collections of digital data (e.g., photos, video, audio, social media content) that captures their experiences, and can potentially be used as rich resources to support familial reminiscence. Yet, the lack of persistent form and presence of digital data can make family members experience their digital content as invisible and inaccessible. The central problem is that technology today does not fully support family members in using their digital collections in social practices of reminiscence in ways that are embodied, causal, spontaneous, and implicit.*** ***My proposed research explores the development and evaluation of a new design approach called domestic data interiors to address these challenges. This research investigates how the familiar forms, affordances, and tangible manipulability of everyday things such as furniture, objects, and interior fixtures can be embedded with digital functionality (e.g., sensing, actuation, and connectivity) to better enable families to engage, share, and interact with social data in the home. ******I will begin by designing and developing a robust, programmable technical platform for integrating connectivity, sensing, and a range of output modalities in customized domestic objects. In parallel, I will conduct laboratory-based studies with users to develop baseline heuristics for supporting rich interactions with family digital content through domestic objects; and, then progressively work toward testing more sophisticated user scenarios for data interior systems to support family reminiscence. After the iterative technical development work and user-scenario testing is complete, I will design, develop, and evaluate a series of research prototypes through field deployment studies in real-world contexts using mixed-methods evaluations. Together, this research will provide a detailed understanding of how new kinds of domestic technologies can be designed to enable digital content to function as rich everyday resources for families, along with new methods for building such advanced embedded systems for the home. ******This research has the potential to make significant advances in the fields of human-computer interaction, domestic computing, user interface design, and computer-supported cooperative work towards the realization of tangible computing and the Internet of Things. Companies are creating connected technologies for the home, but their products are limited by designing devices that users have little agency over and that do not integrate and support sustained user interaction in the home over time. Applications of my research have the potential to inform a new type of connected devices for families to engage with their data.

家庭成员以一种搭配的方式分享记忆和故事，利用实物来集体记忆和回忆过去的经历。今天，家庭成员积累了大量的数字数据（例如，照片、视频、音频、社交媒体内容），其捕捉他们的经历，并且可以潜在地用作支持家庭回忆的丰富资源。然而，缺乏持久的形式和存在的数字数据可以使家庭成员体验他们的数字内容是不可见的和不可访问的。核心问题是，今天的技术并不能完全支持家庭成员以体现的、因果的、自发的和隐含的方式在回忆的社会实践中使用他们的数字收藏。 * 我提出的研究探讨了一种新的设计方法的开发和评估，称为国内数据内部，以应对这些挑战。这项研究调查了家具、物体和室内固定装置等日常事物的熟悉形式、可供性和有形可操作性如何嵌入数字功能（例如，感测、致动和连接性），以更好地使家庭能够参与、共享和与家中的社交数据交互。** 我将开始设计和开发一个强大的、可编程的技术平台，用于在定制的家用物品中集成连接、传感和一系列输出模式。与此同时，我将与用户进行基于实验室的研究，以开发通过家庭对象支持与家庭数字内容进行丰富交互的基线记忆;然后逐步测试数据内部系统的更复杂的用户场景，以支持家庭回忆。迭代技术开发工作和用户场景测试完成后，我将使用混合方法评估，通过现实环境中的现场部署研究来设计、开发和评估一系列研究原型。总之，这项研究将提供一个详细的了解，如何新的国内技术可以设计，使数字内容作为丰富的日常资源的家庭，沿着新的方法，为家庭建设这种先进的嵌入式系统。** 这项研究有可能在人机交互、家庭计算、用户界面设计和计算机支持的协同工作领域取得重大进展，以实现有形计算和物联网。公司正在为家庭创造连接技术，但他们的产品受到设计设备的限制，用户几乎没有代理权，并且随着时间的推移，这些设备不能集成和支持家庭中的持续用户交互。我的研究的应用有可能为家庭提供一种新型的连接设备来处理他们的数据。
