Our results show that the crowd evaluations of originality and creativity are strongly correlated with those of smart home users. In the second study, we evaluated the corpus of IoT scenarios by 20-experienced smart home users recruited through a screening survey. We then recruited a second cohort of 620 crowd workers to rate the scenarios’ creativity.
In the first study, we recruited 102 crowd workers who created 306 scenarios in various categories. This article reports two studies aiming to establish the practicality and originality of crowdsourced IoT scenarios for smart homes. For such an enterprise to be viable it is essential to assess whether crowdsourcing can result in practical and original scenarios. A remedy for such end-users can potentially be found in crowdsourcing IoT scenario creation. However, end-users having little knowledge of the features and possibilities of such technologies, face difficulties in conjuring up useful application scenarios combining such devices and services, thus missing out on potential applications outside those provided by vendors. The IoT industry supplies a plethora of Internet connected devices and services supporting smart home automation.
