Reminder Objects in the Connected Home of the Future and Beyond
This paper presents best practices on how to design reminder objects. Reminder objects are digitally augmented everyday objects that break down and communicate complex information via sensory input and output. In the first section of this paper, we introduce reminder objects—what they are and how th...

In the first section of this paper, we introduce reminder objects—what they are and how they work.
