About
Wally Keijzer-Broers is a leading researcher at the intersection of human-computer interaction, smart environments, and service design. Her work critically examines how emerging technologies—from ubiquitous computing and augmented reality to intelligent appliances and robotics—reshape domestic life. In her highly cited 2013 paper, "What we do – and don’t – know about the Smart Home" (119 citations), Keijzer-Broers provided one of the first comprehensive analyses of the fragmented smart home literature, revealing significant gaps between technological promise and real-world user needs. This foundational work helped reframe the smart home not merely as a technical challenge but as a socio-technical system requiring deep understanding of human practices. Beyond this, her research has advanced methodologies for co-creating services that are both innovative and ethically grounded. With a career spanning academia and industry, Keijzer-Broers has been instrumental in bridging design theory with practical deployment, influencing how researchers and practitioners approach the design of intelligent, user-centered domestic technologies. Her contributions continue to guide scholars seeking to build homes that are not just smart, but truly responsive to human life.
