Towards Self-Explaining Ambient Applications
Börge Kordts, Bennet Gerlach, Andreas Schräder · 2021
In the past decade, pervasive environments have emerged from promising research concepts to available products present in our everyday lives. By connecting multiple smart objects, device ensembles can be formed to assist users in performing tasks. Furthermore, smart objects can be used to control applications, that, in turn, can be used to control other smart objects. While dynamically connecting these components allows for solutions tailored to the needs and respective tasks of a user, it obfuscates the handling and ultimately may decrease usability.
