A Personalized Smart Living Room The New Inter-relationship of Smart Space
Yu‐Chun Huang, Scottie Chih-Chieh Huang · 2014
Culture, society, and technology heavily influence architectural form, and basic architectural elements and functions evolve to suit users' needs. In the 20 th century, with the development of computational technology, architec- ture underwent dramatic transformation. Human-computer interaction (HCI) has changed architectural space into a smart space, which provides ways for humans to interact with their living spaces. However, most smart space cases limit their focus to computational technology such as system efficiency and underuse architectural elements of spaces to improve interfaces. Thus this research intends to integrate both architecture and HCI to create a new inter-relationship system framework of smart space. An applied scenario called the Personalized Smart Living Room showcases the smart space system. Compared to preexisting smart spaces, which usually focused on a single user, this system recognizes several different users and gives appro- priate personal feedback (such as a personal message or photos) and environ- mental atmosphere adjustment (interactive wallpaper and personalized music), by monitoring the specific user's posture and personal smartphone.
