Personal Sensing System
A technical system that collects and analyzes sensor data to understand and characterize a user's own state. Such systems are applied broadly in health monitoring, emotion tracking, and behavioral sensing, enabling continuous self-quantification and situational awareness.
Timeline (last 90 days)
When user-built systems are evaluated, attention is often focused solely on whether they are usable, useful, or technically feasible, while overlooking users' negotiation with the ontological boundaries preset by technology.
The research team designed two open-ended probes using the Wizard of Oz technique to study users' ontological boundary negotiation.
A personal perception system refers to technology that understands and characterizes a user's own state through sensor data.
For product designers, an additional evaluation dimension should be added beyond usability and functionality to measure the degree to which a system allows users to negotiate or even break through its preset boundaries.
