Interaction with a personalised smart space to enhance people everyday life
Assunta Matassa · 2015
In the last years the interest for designing and implementing smart spaces grew signicantly. Many researches adopted a top-down approach, focusing on embedding smartness in buildings, objects and everyday artefacts. In my research work I propose a shift in the point of view and suggest the adoption of a user-centred design approach. This will lead to a new denition of smart spaces based on people needs and requirements and in which smartness is related to the capability of creating a personalised space that enables a deeper and emotional bond between an individual and the space itself. The main goal of my work is to propose a new interaction paradigm supporting natural and spontaneous ways of exchanging information between people and their surroundings. A further aim is the denition of a framework to support the construction of a personalised smart space.
