One-Size-Fits-None: A Heuristic for Proactive Value Sensitive Environmental Design

Donnie Johnson Sackey The University of Texas at Austin

Abstract

This article advocates for a contrasting Value Sensitive Design (VSD) framework based on principles of environmental justice, which encourages environmental-sensing wearable developers to make their values apparent to users in their designs in order to transform users into researchers rather than passive data collectors; make technological systems more transparent rather than opaque; and connect users to larger networks of individuals, who share common justice-oriented goals.
