Homesense was a research project that looked at how we might design smart homes from the bottom up, in an environment of open innovation. Using open source tools Homesense brings the open collaboration methods of online communities to physical infrastructures in the home.
Not to be confused with the Homesense range of furniture.
The Homesense Kit was featured in the Talk to Me exhibition at New York’s Museum of Modern Art from July to November 2011.
