Ambient Intelligence

The Philips pavilion1958

Ubiquitous computing(Mark Weiser, Scientific American 1991)

The Computerfor the 21st Century

Specialized elements of hardware and software, connected by wires, radio waves and infrared, will be so

ubiquitous that no one will notice their presence

Ubiquitous Computing (Mark Weiser)1988

The vision of the Future1996

The introduction of AmI1998

Experience Research

Research phases

Test usability & user acceptance

Collect user insights & requirements

Validate & study longer term effects

Context studies

High level user needs

Userinsights

ObservationsDiary studies

Context studies

Context studies

Lab studies

Focus groups Usability test

• Focus group sessions to collect early user feedback on concepts

• Controlled experiments (limited in time) to study the usability and end

user acceptance

– Multi observer setup

– Control & coding in one system

– Distributed coding scheme

– Observed & automated events

Field studies

• Use of the propositions in real life settings over longer periods of time

• Data collection through logging and in situ interviews

• Complementary findings to laboratory studies
