Abstract
The increasing number of smart devices installed in our homes poses privacy risks for inhabitants and visitors. However, individuals face difficulties counteracting privacy intrusions due to missing controls, incorrect mental models, and limitations in their level of expertise. We present PriKey, a concept for device-independent and easy-to-use tangible smart home privacy mechanisms. PriKey is the key to privacy protection: it supports users in taking control over their privacy through meaningful, tangible interactions. Using a Wizard-of-Oz prototype, we explored users' perceptions regarding PriKey (N = 16). We then compared PriKey to an equivalent smartphone app (N = 32), focusing on visitors. Participants perceived PriKey as engaging, intuitive, and benevolent. Their privacy considerations were based on personal and contextual factors. While most participants preferred the smartphone app, others clearly favored PriKey. Our results indicate that tangible privacy is a noteworthy approach for future smart home privacy mechanisms.
