To cope with this overarching issue, some technological solutions such as Smart Grids, Internet of Things or Demand response are proposed. However, the majority of them overlooks the role of human beings in the equation. Moreover, the very nascent body of research combining human and machine intelligence proposes methods, frameworks, and guidelines which vary depending on the application scenario complicating the selection of gold-standards to ensure seamless cooperation between smart devices and people. Hence, the purpose of this paper is to provide a set of design-hypotheses to devise augmented objects that ally with their users to reduce energy consumption. We expect designers, engineers, makers or even hobbyists in the intersection between technology-enablers (through IoT) and behavioural scientists to bene\ufb01t from them. To this aim, we describe the results of a long-term study in o\ufb03ce-based workplaces, where participants were randomly assigned to di\ufb00erent experimental conditions (persuasion, dashboard, and automation) to increase their energy-e\ufb03cient behaviour. Grounded Theory analysis was applied over qualitative data collected during focus group sessions obtaining \ufb01ve themes around a central category. The resulting themes were linked to design-hypotheses for IoT devices which were then tested through the implementation of a new IoT object also conceived for the workplace.}, language = {en}, urldate = {2020-01-14}, journal = {International Journal of Human-Computer Studies}, author = {Irizar-Arrieta, Ane and Casado-Mansilla, Diego and Garaizar, Pablo and L\xf3pez-de-Ipi\xf1a, Diego and Retegi, Aiur}, month = jan, year = {2020}, keywords = {JCR2.006, Q2}, pages = {102393} }']

There, people do not receive energy consumption feedback nor do they pay a monthly invoice to electricity providers. Thus, there is practically a non-existent perception of energy waste; and hence, there is low motivation to reduce it. To tackle this problem we transform everyday shared electrical appliances which are placed in common spaces into collaborative eco-aware everyday things. These eco-appliances make people aware that they are not alone to save energy, but the everyday things can team up with them to achieve this task. Qualitative and quantitative results were gathered in three case studies performed with shared coffee machines at workplace. The objective was to assess the effectiveness of the proposed eco-aware design in terms of energy saving and the degree of affiliation between workers and the smart appliance to create a green-team relationship.}, booktitle = {Eighth {International} {Conference} on {Innovative} {Mobile} and {Internet} {Services} in {Ubiquitous} {Computing}}, publisher = {IEEE Xplore}, author = {Casado-Mansilla, Diego and {L\xf3pez-de-Armentia, Juan} and {Pablo Garaizar} and {L\xf3pez-de-Ipi\xf1a, Diego}}, year = {2014}, keywords = {Eco-aware Everyday Things, Energy-efficiency, Persuasive Technology, Sustainability, eco-awareness, eco-feedback, hci, linked-data-social-coffee-maker, social devices}, pages = {409--414} }']

The accuracy and precision in the presentation of visual content in classic web technologies is acceptable for use in online experiments, although some results suggest that these technologies should be used with caution in certain circumstances. Declarative animations based on CSS are the best alternative when animation intervals are above 50 milliseconds.

The workplace is a challenging scenario since the economic incentives are not present to increase energy awareness. To tackle some of these issues we have augmented a shared coffee-maker with eco-feedback to turn it into a green ally of the workers. Its design rationale is twofold: Firstly, to make the coffee-maker able to learn its own usage pattern. Secondly, to communicate persuasively and in real-time to users whether it is more efficient to leave the appliance on or off during certain periods of time along the workday. The goal is to explore a human-machine team towards energy efficiency and awareness, i.e. whether giving the initiative to users to decide how to operate the common appliances, but being assisted by them, is a better choice than automation or mere informative eco-feedback.}, language = {en}, urldate = {2014-05-08TZ}, booktitle = {Extended {Abstracts} on {Human} {Factors} in {Computing} {Systems} ({CHI} 2014)}, publisher = {ACM New York, NY, USA \xa92014}, author = {Casado-Mansilla, Diego and Lopez-de-Armentia, Juan and Garaizar, Pablo and L\xf3pez-de-Ipi\xf1a, Diego}, year = {2014}, keywords = {Eco-aware Everyday Things, Energy-efficiency, Persuasive Technology, Sustainability, eco-feedback, linked-data-social-coffee-maker}, pages = {2425--2430} }']

An overwhelming supply of educational applications is designed to facilitate their autonomous learning in painting, counting, spelling and so on. Apparently, this approach is in line with the principles of Montessori education (independence, freedom and respect for the natural psychological development of the children). However, the well developed GUI interaction skills (tapping, swiping or pinching items through multi-touch gestures on a screen) of the 21st century children are useless for manipulating physical objects. Exploring the real world requires a different set of capabilities (e.g., fine prehensile skills), often developed through traditional toys and games. For this reason we have developed 3DU Blocks, a proposal that combines traditional toy blocks with the features provided by mobile devices to create new gaming experiences and open the door to explore new educational scenarios. 3DU Blocks is a library for color recognition in arrangements of traditional toy blocks, allowing to use them as a Tangible User Interface. As an early example of the capabilities of this library, we have developed 3DU Blocks Music, an educational game where players have to recreate simple melodies using toy blocks to represent musical instruments and notes.
