Funded Activity Summary
Make and Connect: Enabling People to Connect through their Things. The 'Internet of Things' promises a future in which everyday things are all connected to the internet enabling them to share data and communicate with one another. The vision is technology-centric and things cannot be built by end users. This project aims to research how the 'Internet of Things' can be democratised: designed and built by everyone young and old, of different cultures and remote, with a domain focus on enabling social engagement and connectedness. People are expected to be able to connect through familiar objects such as their tables and kettles, and build interfaces themselves with intuitive building blocks. Anticipated project outcomes include new toolkits, new creative practices, a theoretical model and example networks of things connecting people in new ways.Funded Activity Details
