OpenDoTT Current IoT Practices Dataset: ESR5 A Trustmark for IoT

A Trutsmark for IoT<br>This is one of the topics under Open Design of Trusted Things (OpenDoTT, opendott.org ), a joint PhD programme between Northumbria University and Mozilla. This folder contains data collected from the research phase 1 - Storytelling with Speculative Sensors (Designing for Trust in the IoT) as part of WP1 - D1.1 Capturing Current IoT Practices<br>Aim:The overall aim of this PhD is to work towards a set of guidelines and properties that define a “trusted” IoT. This will involve investigating uses of the IoT across different scales, from wearables to smart cities. Key to this project is exploring the interplay between policy, design and technology across private and public connected devices, and identifying the key ethical issues arising from the changing social landscape that is being created by the amplifying effect of IoT.<br><br>Method:<br>The research followed a mixed approach consisting of probes, interviews, and co-creation exercises. Participants were recruited by circulating a participant recruitment flyer to colleagues and friends via email. 5 participants were recruited from across the UK. In this study, I aimed to generate rich descriptions of participants qualitative feelings about the IoT. I adapted the methods of cultural probes, particularly focusing on subversion as an essential element of probes. Cultural probes are meant to be provocative kits that are given out to participants in the hope of gaining open-ended and often abstract ‘inspiration-clues’. I reimagined the concept of the probe as a ‘kit’ and after collecting news stories and reports from around the web, adapted the cultural probe as a digital kit. The ‘digital probe’ was presented in a form of a website that was revealed to participants over a period of 3 weeks. Each week had a theme based on an archetype of a commonly used IoT sensor. In the spirit of ‘incompleteness’, there were spaces for participants to write their views in a comments box by responding to the IoT products featured in the digital kit. Semi-structured interviews (face-to-face, via Zoom ) were conducted with 5 participants. Two of the five participants engaged in co-creation exercises within the framework of a generative toolkit. The toolkit was simply a template that provoked ways of thinking about the future - a way to provoke dialog about a technology and social values by talking about participants needs, pain points, dreams and wishes. Participant interviews were transcribed. The transcribed interviews were open coded to find themes and categories. The conversations with participants, probe responses, co-creation exercises and themes from the transcribed data provided inspiration clues for sketching design concepts in the next phase of research. <br>Dataset contains:<br> [x] Participant Recruitment Flyer (.jpg) [x] Participant Information Sheet and Consent Forms (.pdf) [x] Digital Probe Kit (.pdf) [x[ Participant responses to probe (.xlsx) [x] Interview transcripts (.pdf) [x] Co-creation exercises (.pdf) [x] Coded transcripts and code categories(.pdf)<br><br>

本数据集围绕物联网信任标记（Trutsmark）展开。本数据集隶属于诺森比亚大学与Mozilla联合推出的可信物品开放设计（OpenDoTT, opendott.org）项目旗下研究主题之一。本文件夹包含研究第一阶段——"基于推测式传感器的叙事设计（物联网信任构建）"的相关数据，该阶段属于WP1（工作包1）中D1.1交付成果《当前物联网实践调研》的组成部分。

研究目标：本博士项目的整体目标是构建一套定义"可信物联网"的准则与属性。研究将覆盖从可穿戴设备到智慧城市的全尺度物联网应用场景。本项目的核心在于探索私有与公有联网设备在政策、设计与技术层面的交互关系，并识别因物联网放大效应催生的社会格局变革所引发的关键伦理议题。

研究方法：本研究采用混合研究方法，涵盖文化探针（Cultural Probe）、访谈与共创活动。研究人员通过邮件向同事与友人发放参与者招募传单的方式招募受试者，最终从英国境内招募到5名参与者。本研究旨在获取参与者对物联网的质性感受的详实描述。研究团队改编了文化探针的研究方法，尤其将"颠覆性"作为探针的核心要素。传统文化探针旨在作为激发性套件发放给受试者，以获取开放式且通常偏向抽象的"灵感线索"。本研究将探针概念重构为"套件"形式：研究人员先从全球网络搜集新闻报道与相关资讯，随后将文化探针改造为数字化套件。该"数字化探针"以网站形式呈现，在为期3周的周期内分阶段向受试者开放。每周设置一个主题，对应一款主流物联网传感器的原型场景。秉持"非完整性"的设计理念，数字化套件中设置了评论框，供受试者针对套件中展示的物联网产品发表个人见解。研究人员对5名受试者开展了半结构化访谈（包括线下面谈与Zoom线上访谈）。其中2名受试者参与了生成式工具包框架下的共创活动：该工具包仅为一组模板，用于激发对未来的思考——通过探讨受试者的需求、痛点、愿景与期许，引发关于技术与社会价值的对话。研究人员将访谈内容转录为文本，随后对转录文本进行开放式编码以提炼主题与分类。受试者访谈内容、探针反馈、共创活动成果以及转录数据中的主题，为下一阶段研究中的设计概念草图创作提供了灵感线索。
