This project investigated the availability of sensors for social research, their usability and usefulness for a variety of research settings. The project developed resources for training in the methodological, technical and ethical aspects of using this technology and shared experiences from the HomeSense field trial in volunteer households.
Our investigations touch upon a range of interests across the social sciences, humanities and ICT disciplines, among individuals using sensors and DIY applications, businesses concerned with IoT developments, and policy makers concerned with ethical and legal issues.
