ABSTRACT

End-user development (EUD) seeks to facilitate the extension and customisation of systems during use, with increasing possibilities as the Internet-of-Things (IoT) computing paradigm becomes widespread and expands into realms such as the smart home. This exploratory research study explores two popular physical computing platforms, oriented towards novice makers, that allow end-user developers to create and deploy an IoT smart home sensor device, as well as visualise the resulting data in the cloud. The end users’ experiences are evaluated against known EUD design principles, finding that the platforms in their current state are only partially able to meet two of the principles. Such end-to-end IoT prototyping platforms are a relatively recent offering of these maker-focused organisations and, despite some issues in their current state, they offer the potential to increase the ability of end-users to prototype across the complex layers of an IoT system. Future possibilities around the data visualisation layer and for integration with visual programming work are identified, to improve the end-users’ ability to deeply customise their IoT systems.

用于智能家居系统最终用户原型设计的低成本物理计算平台

摘要

最终用户开发 (EUD) 寻求在使用过程中促进系统的扩展和定制,随着物联网 (IoT) 计算范式变得广泛并扩展到智能家居等领域,这种可能性越来越大。这项探索性研究探索了两个面向新手制造商的流行物理计算平台,它们允许最终用户开发人员创建和部署物联网智能家居传感器设备,以及在云中可视化结果数据。最终用户的体验根据已知的 EUD 设计原则进行评估,发现当前状态的平台只能部分满足其中两个原则。这种端到端的物联网原型平台是这些以创客为中心的组织相对较新的产品,尽管目前存在一些问题,它们提供了提高最终用户跨物联网系统复杂层进行原型设计的能力的潜力。确定了围绕数据可视化层以及与可视化编程工作集成的未来可能性,以提高最终用户深度定制其 IoT 系统的能力。
