Jeannette Chin, Vic Callaghan, Graham Clarke · 2006
Our homes are rapidly being filled with diverse types of products ranging from simple lighting systems to sophisticated entertainment systems, all adding to the functionality and convenience available to the home user.

The paper also includes a user evaluation that shows end-users find this approach to be a useable and enjoyable experience
