- We present a longitudinal investigation of Tableau Machine, an intelligent entity that interprets and reflects the lives of occupants in the home. We created Tableau Machine (TM) to explore the parts of home life that are unrelated to accomplishing tasks. Task support for "smart homes" has inspired many researchers in the community. We consider design for experience, an orthogonal dimension to task-centric home life. TM produces abstract visualizations on a large LCD every few minutes, driven by a set of four overhead cameras that capture a sense of the social life of a domestic space. The openness and ambiguity of TM allow for a cycle of co-interpretation with householders. We report on three longitudinal deployments of TM for a period of six weeks. Participant families engaged with TM at the outset to understand how their behaviors were influencing the machine, and, while TM remained puzzling, householders interacted richly with TM and its images. We extract some key design implications for an experience-focused smart home.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- We present the design of Tableau Machine (TM), an AIbased,interactive, visual art generator for shared livingspaces. TM is an instance of what we call “alien presence”:an ambient, non-human, embodied, intelligent agent. Fromoverhead video in key public spaces, TM interprets itsenvironment, including its human audience, and expressesits interpretation by displaying a sequence of abstractimages of its own design. This paper is a case study in thedesign of an art generator with deep and long-termconnections to its physical and social environment.
