Based on extensive user studies, three innovative user-system interaction concepts were developed that help to enhance people's home experience.
Abstract
This paper describes extensive user studies that have been conducted to understand what "home" actually means to people, and to find out how people would like to live in their "dream home." Based on these studies, three innovative user-system interaction concepts were developed that help to enhance people's home experience.
