This book introduces the concept of the wise home. Whilst smart
homes focus on automation technologies, forcing users to deal with
complex and incomprehensible control and programming procedures,
the wise home is different. By going beyond intelligence (or
smartness) the wise home puts technology in the background and
supports explicit (enhanced user-experience) as well as implicit
(artificial intelligence) interaction adequate to the end-user's
needs. The theoretical basis of the wise home is explored and
examples for its application for future living are presented based
on empirical studies and field work carried out by the author.
Principles of HCI and the meaning of the home from differing
scientific perspective are discussed and a research model (based on
the concept of user experience (UX)) and iterations is introduced.
This has resulted in field deployment guides being produced through
a systematic development process. The Future Home is Wise, not
Smart will be essential reading to home system developers,
designers and researchers, responsible for smart home deployment or
Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) who will get insights on how to
follow a novel approach in developing and adapting smart home
systems to their users' needs. Students with an interest in
software design for pervasive systems will benefit by receiving
information on how to develop and customise systems for the
specific needs of living environments.
