| Abstract Text | As sensing and actuation technologies grow more widespread, smart home infrastructures will become both feasible and flexible in supporting multiple applications. The development of these “smart home technologies” have been investigated by diverse fields spanning technical, sociological, and health-oriented disciplines, attempting to meet varying users’ needs from technology savvy, “mass market”, and functionally declining older adult populations. In an effort to promote human-centred knowledge exchange and design expertise between these communities, this workshop aims to explore interaction design for intended smart home users at and transitioning between successive life stages. Ultimately, we will aim to address how smart home technologies can be designed to evolve with their users over the life course. By uniting researchers and designers from various backgrounds, we hope to stimulate both actionable insights and design artifacts that better capture the evolutionary nature of users and their home contexts, which participants can then apply in their own research and design work going forward. |
