Generally, people spend a good amount of time their home performing everyday activities like: sleeping, eating, cooking, relaxing, and so on; thus, it comes as no surprise that the home plays a key role in our health, lifestyle, and well-being. The Aware Home Research Initiative (AHRI) at Georgia Institute of Technology is an interdisciplinary research endeavor aimed at addressing the fundamental technical, design, and social challenges for people in a home setting. Central to this research is a 3-story, 5040 square foot facility designed to facilitate research while providing an authentic home environment.
