“…Motivational Environments Research group directed by Dr. Winslow Burleson originally developed this tool to enable researchers to readily develop hybrid reality systems (Burleson et al, 2009). The platform enables rapid prototyping of rule-based systems that include a variety of sensing (from simple magnetic sensors to smart phone GPS tracking) and media event components (from text messages to mobile phones to sound play and robot movements).…”

“…The platform enables rapid prototyping of rule-based systems that include a variety of sensing (from simple magnetic sensors to smart phone GPS tracking) and media event components (from text messages to mobile phones to sound play and robot movements). While the tool is used for diverse purposes such as tangible learning environments (Burleson et al, 2009) In adopting existing GaLLaG, users' ability of augmenting their home environments is the focus of the present research. People's home may be where they spend more time than any other space.…”

Desirable outcomes such as health and wellbeing are tightly linked to people's behaviors, thus inspiring research on technologies that support productively changing those behaviors. Many behavior change technologies are designed by Human-Computer Interaction experts, but this approach makes it difficult to personalize support to each user's unique goals and needs. As an alternative to the provision of expert-developed pre-fabricated behavior change solutions, the present study aims to empower users' selfexperimentation for behavior change. To this end, two levels of supports were explored.First, the provision of interactive digital materials to support users' creation of behavioral plans was developed. In the initial step, a tutorial for self-experimentation for behavior change that was fully scripted with images in succession was created. The tutorial focuses on facilitating users' learning and applying behavior change techniques.Second, users were equipped with a tool to support their implementation of contextaware just-in-time interventions. This tool enables prototyping of sensor-based responsive systems for home environments, integrating simple sensors (two-state magnetic sensors, etc.) and media event components (wireless sound, etc.).To evaluate the effectiveness of these two approaches, a between-subject trial comparing the approaches to a sleep education control was conducted with 27 participants over 7 weeks. Although results did not reveal significant difference in sleep quality improvement between the conditions, trends indicating greater effectiveness in the two treatment groups were observed. Analysis of the plans participants created and their revision performance also indicated that the two treatment groups developed more specific and personalized plans compared with the control group.

“…Each token represented a specific input or output modality or device use. Participants placed the tokens on their home interior collages by either choosing from a pre-defined set of interactions based on the Gameas-Life--Life-as-Game (GaLLaG) [2] distributed computing prototyping platform, or sketching new interactions on a blank token. Predefined interaction tokens included the use of mobile phones, tablets, smart televisions, desktop and laptop computers, automation of lights and appliances, detection of furniture use and entry/exit from a room and interaction with web content.…”

This paper presents the constructive design research (CDR) of smart domestic environments comprised of smart home infrastructure, smart domestic artifacts and digital services. CDR is an approach that focuses on imagining futures and learning through the making and testing of prototypes to construct new knowledge about how people engage with the world. While the body of research on smart domestic environments includes a wealth of human-centered research, the use of CDR is marginal. Our work demonstrates how such a process engages residents in activities to imagine why people might value smart domestic environments and how they might want to interact with them. Through goal setting activities, paper prototyping, and field-testing of resident designed technology probes, we present use cases, design principles and experiential insights. After sharing these findings, we introduce the emergence of smart domestic environments as possessing persuasive, personified and artful qualities.
