Title Living Room of the Future 
Description The LRoTF platfrom was developed with PETRAS partners BBC R&D as part of the AHRC Objects of Immersion research project which explored how media broadcasters could utilise Object-Based Media (OBM) to deliver more immersive experiences to audiences in home environments. The LRoTF utilises OBM to dynamically customise radio and television content based on audiences' personal, contextual and derived data. OBM delivers personalised viewing experiences by breaking media into smaller parts (known as 'objects'), describing how they relate to each other semantically, and then reassembling them into many possible personalised programmes. In addition to the media-delivery aspects, the LRoTF explores data protection issues associated with OBM's use of data, by integrating with the privacy-enhancing Databox system. Further the LRofTF extends OBM by including off the shelf and bespoke Internet of Internet of Things objects as part of the media performance in order to co-produce, with an audience, a 'lived' experience of the future as a form of 'Experiential Design Fiction'. With the support of PETRAS a new experience was created and a version of the LRofTF installed at the V&A which was designed to highlight potential futures of IoT involving Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Edge Computing. Additionally the experience highlighted research from PETRAS HTIoT project relating to designing IoT products and services that foregroud IoT data flows and algorithms and the often transactional nature of personal data production in the home. 
Type Of Art Artistic/Creative Exhibition 
Year Produced 2018 
Impact Alongside highlighting the research of PETRAS to some of the 22,000 visitors who attended the design weekend at the V&A nearly 100 were able to experience the LRofTF installation directly and engaged in many interesting discussions around the potential adoption IoT products and in the Home.

The Little Book of Public Space and the Internet of Things [PDF]
Deschamps-Sonsino, A, Hudson-Smith, A, and Wilson, D (2020). Edited by Coulton C. ISBN 978-1-86220-391-4
Our public spaces are changing, they are at the forefront of a technological revolution yet this is a revolution that often remains hidden from sight. Sensors are being installed and the ability to interact with objects in our spaces - from projects such as the PETRAS Talking Trees through to conversations with Lamp Posts or data interactions with local wildlife is changing our interactions both in and with these places and spaces.

This Little Book explores safety and security and moves onto maintenance. We then look at some of the issues affecting people and explore health, community building and culture while exploring the use of public space for play. After this, we explore conservation and culture, transport and signage, accessibility and then, finally, we discuss future trends.

The Little Book of the Internet of Things for the Home [PDF]
Gradinar, A, Van Kleek, M, Pschetz, L, Coulton, P and Lindley, J.(2019). Edited by Coulton C. ISBN 978-1-86220-370-9

This Little Book discusses 'smart' products and services that are being designed for our homes, which are part of the emerging IoT, and highlight potential flaws in the design practices that have produced them.

The Little Book of Design Fiction for the Internet of Things [PDF]
Coulton, P, J Lindley, Cooper, R.(2018). Edited by Coulton C. ISBN 978-1-86220-346-4

This Little Book is about designing the future in a world of the Internet of Things. The book explains why it's important to understand how the IoT will shape our lives in the future and how we can use Design Fiction to explore these futures.

The Little Book of Sustainability for the Internet of Things [PDF]
Stead M, Coulton P, Lindley J.(2019). Edited by Coulton C. ISBN 978-1-86220-360-0

IoT devices are still being designed, manufactured and disposed of in the same manner that most other 'non-connected' consumer products have been for decades - unsustainably. Little of the discourse around the IoT recognises or responds to this growing issue.

The Little Book of Philosophy for the Internet of Things [PDF]
Lindley J, Coulton P, Akmal H, Hay D, Van Kleek K, Cannizzaro S, Binns R.(2019). ISBN 978-1-86220-356-3

PETRAS researchers have drawn on different philosophical theories to help them understand some of the difficult relationships between the digital, physical and connectivity qualities of the IoT. This book considers these relationships in terms of how they impact privacy, ethics, trust, risk, security, and adoption.

Little Book of Critical Infrastructure and the Internet of Things [PDF]
Lesniewska. F, McCann J.(2019). Edited by Coulton C. ISBN 978-1-86220-359-4

This Little Book reveals how new information and communication technologies (ICT), such as sensors, data analytics, artificial intelligence and cloud computers, incorporated into critical infrastructures that society depends on for services like health, energy, transport and agriculture, can bring about huge benefits. However, incorporating these new ICTs into critical infrastructure can also result in new risks, some yet unknown, which may threaten the security of society, the environment and human well-being.

The Little Book of Connected Environments and the Internet of Things [PDF]
Hudson-Smith, A, Wilson D, Hay D, Gray S.(2019). Edited by Coulton C. ISBN 978-1-86220-358-7

This Little Book is about opening up the potential of IoT devices to provide information about our environment. From city-wide systems and the idea of the Smart City through to building-level management systems and the connected home, data is being connected.

The Little Book of Creating Value through Design in the IoT [PDF]
Speed, C, Lee, B, and Hands, D.(2019). Edited by Coulton C. ISBN 978-1-86220-357-0

This Little Book is about creating value in the IoT within the digital economy. The authors explain why it is important to understand how the IoT will transform value creation and how we can use design to mediate value.
Exploitation Route The findings from the research have been used by Lancaster city council to inform policy on procurement and implementation of sensors and iot in the city. Much of the reports have been used in various government departments, such as DCMS.

Results and Impact 23rd January 2018 - Rachel Cooper was keynote and panelist at the Plymouth University in their Design Lab - talking about "how to provoke new thinking and practice around strategic design challenges (climate change/health/ageing/well-being) linking interdisciplinary research initiatives, that could be helpful to prime these agendas and locate funded projects that could allow for further challenges to be identified." She drew on experience and research from Liveable Cities and Petras IoT Hub during this day.

Results and Impact The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of connected devices with inputs and outputs operating in, and on, the physical world. The network is simultaneously fed by, and feeds into, data streams flowing across digital-physical boundaries, connecting sensors, servers, actuators, devices, and people. 'Things' of all types, lightbulbs, doorbells, kettles and cars, discretely-but-visibly do their jobs. Meanwhile in the unseen digital domain, where data swirls imperceptible to humans, the atmosphere is thick with the rapidly-moving data packets and content that constitute inter-machine chatter. Contrasting the visible calm in the physical world with obscured bedlam in the digital otherworld sets the scene for the argument I will discuss in this talk of moving towards a more than human centred approach to the design of the IoT. In order to illustrate this in practice I will use speculative design to illustrate that by applying Object Orientated Ontology, IoT designers may reimagine data, devices, and users, as equally significant actants within constellations with the aim of producing IoT objects and services that are more transparent as to the values of their creators.
