Welcome to the Aware Home
Generally, people spend a good amount of time in their home performing everyday activities like: sleeping, eating, cooking, relaxing, entertaining, 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 the 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 the Aware Home, a 3-story, 5040 square foot facility designed to facilitate research, while providing an authentic home environment.
The Aware Home is a great place for students to learn about research, get involved in research, or conduct their own research studies in the home environment.
Georgia Tech researchers use the Aware Home for developing innovations for everyday homes and evaluating solutions in a controlled authentic home environment
The Aware Home provides opportunities for industry engagement in our connected living research domains as well as research envisioning the future of home technology.
