A Multi-Display System for Deploying and Controlling Home Automation
Yucheng Jin, Chi Tai Dang, Christian Prehofer, Elisabeth André · 2014
In this paper, we present a concept of using a home devices mashup tool to wire home devices on a tabletop display in combination with web based UIs on mobile devices to control home devices. This concept is realized by a multi-display system supported by the open-source framework Environs. The mashup tool on the tabletop enables multiple people to deploy home networked devices co-located collaboratively with a more natural and intuitive interface. Moreover, web based UIs on mobile devices enable individuals to control home devices universally with high accessibility and mobility.
