Figure 67. The Thursday evening activity pattern translated to a new plan by MIT undergraduate, Jennifer Gaugler. Sensors from the living room and family room were remapped to the same space, while the sensors from the study, near the daughter’s keyboard, could be placed in either the children’s bedroom or the work area near the master bedroom. Pathways of the daughter and father, as they move between watching TV in the family room and using the kitchen, are blocked by a wall.

ADevelopers become integrators and alliance builders
offering tailored solutions to individuals
(rather than one-size-fits all cookie cutter housing)

CManufacturers agree on interface standards
and become tier-one suppliers of components
producing systems that share common sensing and communication infrastructure.
(think USB port)
