Abstract

Pervasive computing research is often couched in socially relevant applications, yet we've largely failed to leverage its potential to excite and engage the public. By focusing research efforts on engaging everyday users as an essential part of research, design, and evaluation processes, the pervasive computing community can interest the masses while also increasing the quality and impact of research.
