Abstract

I present the design of Eco-Buzz, an interactive system designed to engage families in informal learning activities in which they seek out hidden sources of energy consumption in their homes. The system combines an electro-magnetic field (EMF) detector with a mobile tablet computer. Bringing the Eco-Buzz device within range of an electrical current activates the detector; the output from the detector is used to provide feedback during the activity.
