Yann Riche Leveraging people's intimate knowledge in feedback systems In this talk, I will describe two projects where I attempt to leverage people's intimacy with their own lives, and their ability to build upon various heterogeneous sources of information to assess situations and make decisions. The first case refers to the design and evaluation of markerClock, an augmented, communicating clock designed to support older adults aging in place. The second case refers to the design of always-on eco-feedback for the home. I describe how in these cases, leveraging people's intimacy with the information allows a system to provide more subtle and meaningful information visualizations, providing a novel approach for addressing issues such as privacy, aesthetics and information ambiguity. Biography Yann Riche recently obtained his Ph.D. in Human Computer Interactions at the Université Paris Sud, in the insitu lab at INRIA. His research interests lie in the technology can support social behaviors, communities, and sustainable behaviors. His work takes place at the intersection of Computer Supported Collaborative Work and Computer Mediated Communication. His Ph.D. thesis explored the design and evaluation of communication devices for supporting aging in place. To conduct this work, he relied on both user-centered and participatory design methods to ground the research outcomes in real life situation, trying to extend existing social behaviors with technology. His other projects include the design and evaluation of feedback interfaces for sustainable behaviors, study of physical collaboration in design, the design of technology to support teaching in high schools, and the study of ways to capture and analyze data in the field. He recently collaborated at OSU with Pr. Maragret Burnett on end-user programming and machine-learning feedback, and Pr. Ron Metoyer on the study and design of eco-feedback.
