Resumo(s)
Eco-feedback domestic technologies have gained
momentum over the last decade. Yet, while a wide range of
research prototypes and commercial products has been
proposed, their acceptance by families is still limited. In
this paper we report on our findings from interviews with
15 dual income families, during a year-long deployment of
an eco-feedback technology that attempted to inquire into
the factors that prohibited its adoption. We found the non adoption of our system to be rooted in a number of systemic
failures, relating to the physical context, the families’ social
dynamics and the roles assumed by family members, as
well as families’ priorities and the non-negotiability of their
routines. Motivated by prior work and our empirical
findings we propose three distinct dimensions but also
phases in the adoption of eco-feedback technologies:
orientation, incorporation and social integration, and
discuss how these may hint at different barriers in the
adoption of eco-feedback technologies.
