Project Summary

The Smart Cues project explores how interactive physical devices, used as cues and situated around the house, can facilitate and support short bouts of physical activity.

Our aim is to develop a toolkit for designing such devices, including a set of design guidelines, interactive prototypes and case studies describing users’ experiences of engaging with smart cues within their homes.
