From Ideation to Implications: Directions for the Internet of Things in the Home

In this paper we give a brief overview of our approaches and ongoing work for future directions of the Internet of Things (IoT) with a focus on the IoT in the home. We highlight some of our activities including tools and methods for an ideation-driven approach as well as for an implications-driven approach. We point to some findings of workshops and empirical field-studies. We show examples for new classes of idiosyncratic IoT devices, how implications emerge by (mis)using sensor data and how users interacted with IoT systems in shared spaces.Comment: Proceedings of the CHI 2019 Workshop on New Directions for the IoT: Automate, Share, Build, and Care, (arXiv:1906.06089
