Human Factors in Smart Home Technologies

On Tuesday, September 24, 2019, NIST is holding a one-day workshop entitled “Human Factors in Smart Home Technologies.” The workshop will address human considerations for smart home devices, including usability, user perceptions, and end-user privacy and security considerations. Invited speakers from industry, academia, and government will provide their perspectives via presentations and a moderated panel. In addition to becoming more aware of human aspects of smart home technologies, attendees will also have the opportunity to influence NIST's future research direction in this area by voicing their opinions, challenges, and ideas during afternoon breakout sessions.
