Abstract

a number of sensors, including an electricity usage sensor supplied by Episensor. This poses our second With the increasing ubiquity of sensor data, challenge, how to summarise an extended period of presenting this data in a meaningful way to electrictiy usage data for a home user. users is a challenge that must be addressed 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.
