Abstract
In this thesis, I present an exploration of in-home data and data visualization. I conducted a study that takes an exploratory look at ubiquitous computing in homes from the perspective of data and visualization. Through in-context interviews during home walkthroughs, I explored people’s opinions about the data they live with and how they imagine incorporating data visualization displays into their lives and their homes. I discovered that most of our study participants already live with many types of data and visualizations, and these experiences influence their proposals for future visualizations. This qualitative study raises potential factors about the future of data and data visualization as an essential part of smart home environments. Using the results of the study, I propose a flexible framework of visualization characteristics to consider when discussing visualizations for the home.
