Abstract Details

2023, MDES, University of Cincinnati, Design, Architecture, Art and Planning: Design.
As working remotely is becoming a new social norm, more people are working from home. Without the need to commute to the workplace, seamless integration of work and private life causes work overspill and leads to the mixture of work and personal life roles, especially for younger generations who have limitations in creating a physically separated workspace. To better understand the problem, surveys, interviews, and observations were conducted with young remote workers. Based on the insights from these studies, concepts for building a system that helps work-life separation were developed and tested through an online survey. This resulted in the design of a software application for a simulated at-home commute experience, along with the ability to control smart home products that prompt indoor living environment changes to simulate a transition process between work and personal life. This study lays a foundation for future work in terms of building work-life boundaries at home.
