Abstract
People living a global lifestyle connect remotely to their
families while away from home. In this paper we identify a
need for connecting with a home as the physical place
itself. For this purpose we introduce the concept of Home
Awareness that connects people sensuously to remote
places through sound, light and feeling of temperature. A
working prototype has been successfully tested and we
present some results from early user studies.
