Further Exploring Communal Technology Use in Smart Homes: Social Expectations

10 Mar 2020  ·  Kraemer Martin J., Lyngs Ulrik, Webb Helena, Flechais Ivan ·

Device use in smart homes is becoming increasingly communal, requiring cohabitants to navigate a complex social and technological context. In this paper, we report findings from an exploratory survey grounded in our prior work on communal technology use in the home [4]. The findings highlight the importance of considering qualities of social relationships and technology in understanding expectations and intentions of communal technology use. We propose a design perspective of social expectations, and we suggest existing designs can be expanded using already available information such as location, and considering additional information, such as levels of trust and reliability.
