before we can easily deploy real-world sensor
network interfaces in the home or workplace. In
this paper, we will present one solution to the
visualisation of large quantities of sensor data
that is easy to understand and yet provides
meaningful and intuitive information to a user,
even when examining many weeks or months of
historical data. We will illustrate this
visulalisation technique with two real-world
deployments of sensing the person and sensing
the home.
