how smart should a smart home be?
scott's current work explores what happens when the home becomes an agent in helping families coordinate, a concept that emerged from an ethnographic study of dual-income families. he is now creating new applications of machine learning and planning for the smart home, and looking to evaluate their impact with longitudinal empirical and qualitative fieldwork.
scott uses interaction and experience design thinking as a lens to evaluate the idea space of ubiquitous computing and context-aware computing. he argues that smart home work is limited when teams marry themselves to a single vision. to resist this early commitment, scott introduced speed dating. speed dating provides a structured way to flirt with design alternatives.
scott works on the project on family, control + the smart home. his advisors, john zimmerman and anind dey, assure scott his service will end
as soon as he produces an original thought. we are all concerned. scott is also principal of scott davidoff design, a boutique design consultancy.
scott holds a masters in hci from cmu, and a ba
in political theory and english from duke. he has a strong love affair with coffee,
spiritual poetry, children's books, and roller disco.
