The research focuses on the designerly understanding of digital twins, aiming to enhance energy sustainability in domestic environments.
By applying design research methods and Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) techniques to the development and implementation of digital twins, the goal is to create intuitive and interactive systems that encourage people to engage with and become more aware of their energy consumption. The methodology also involves integrating various interaction strategies within digital twins to study their effect on user engagement.
The ultimate aim of this research is to build a design framework for designers to use when working with digital twins in the context of homes.
