Supporting Rich User Interactions with Digital Content in Everyday Life

家庭成员以一种搭配的方式相互分享记忆和故事，使用物质对象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(如照片、视频、音频、社交媒体内容)，这些数据记录了他们的经历，并有可能被用作支持家庭回忆的丰富资源。然而，缺乏持久的形式和数字数据的存在，可能会使家庭成员将他们的数字内容体验为不可见和不可访问的。核心问题是，今天的技术并不完全支持家庭成员在社会实践中以体现的、因果的、自发的和含蓄的方式使用他们的数字收藏。*我提出的研究探索了一种名为国内数据内部的新设计方法的开发和评估，以应对这些挑战。这项研究调查了如何将家具、物体和室内固定装置等日常物品熟悉的形式、负担和有形的可操作性嵌入数字功能(例如，传感、驱动和连接)，以使家庭能够更好地参与、共享家庭中的社交数据并与其互动。*我将首先设计和开发一个强大的、可编程的技术平台，用于将连接、传感和一系列输出模式集成到定制的国内对象中。同时，我将与用户一起进行基于实验室的研究，以开发支持通过家庭对象与家庭数字内容进行丰富交互的基线启发式方法；然后，逐步致力于测试更复杂的用户场景，用于数据内部系统，以支持家庭回忆。在迭代技术开发工作和用户场景测试完成后，我将通过在真实世界环境中使用混合方法评估的现场部署研究来设计、开发和评估一系列研究原型。总而言之，这项研究将详细了解如何设计新型国内技术，使数字内容成为家庭丰富的日常资源，以及为家庭构建这种先进的嵌入式系统的新方法。*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作工作等领域朝着实现有形计算和物联网的方向取得重大进展。公司正在为家庭创造互联技术，但他们的产品受到设计设备的限制，这些设备用户几乎没有代理机构，而且不能整合和支持家庭中持续的用户交互。我的研究的应用有可能为家庭提供一种新型的互联设备来处理他们的数据。

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.
