Abstract

This paper presents the Hermes@Home system, which supports awareness (through messaging) between members of a home. Person(s) 'away' from the home can send messages via a web portal to an 'always on' 'information appliance' style display situated in the home, while people at home can scribble messages on the touch sensitive display of this unit for reception by the person(s) away from the home. The system was conceived as a technology probe and serves as a tool in investigating related issues such as awareness and intimacy between home inhabitants. It supplements existing communication methods by providing a highly expressive and always-available messaging method. We present some findings and initial results from a preliminary analysis of messages sent through the system during four deployments, identifying emerging themes in message content. In addition, we also present some of the issues that have surfaced through these deployments in a domestic environment.

Hermes@Home:支持远方家庭成员之间的意识和亲密关系

本文介绍了Hermes@Home系统，它支持家庭成员之间的意识(通过消息传递)。人(年代)“远离”家庭可以通过门户网站向位于家中的“永远打开”的“信息设备”式显示器发送信息，而在家的人可以在该单元的触摸感应显示器上涂鸦信息，供远离家庭的人接收。该系统被认为是一个技术探测器，并作为调查家庭居民之间的意识和亲密关系等相关问题的工具。它通过提供一种高度表达和始终可用的消息传递方法来补充现有的通信方法。我们介绍了对四次部署期间通过该系统发送的信息进行初步分析的一些发现和初步结果，确定了信息内容中的新主题。此外，我们还介绍了在国内环境中通过这些部署而出现的一些问题。
