State of the art smart homes, like other ?smart? technology, tend to demand that the human user must adapt herself to the needs of the system. The hunt for a truly user-centred, truly intuitive system has long proven to be beyond the grasp of current technology. When humans speak with one another, we are multimodal. Our speech is supplemented with gestures, which serve as a parallel stream of information, reinforcing the meaning of our words. Drawing on well-established protocols in engineering and psychology, and with no small amount of inspiration from a particular nonsense poem, we have successfully concluded that hunt. This book describes the efforts, undertaken over several years, to design, implement, and test a model of interaction that allows untrained individuals to intuitively control a complex series of networked and embedded systems. The theoretical concepts are supported by a series of experimental studies, showing the advantages of the novel approach, and pointing towards future work that would facilitate the deployment of this concept in the real world. 410 0$aSpringerBriefs in Human-Computer Interaction,$x2520-1689 606 $aUser interfaces (Computer systems) 606 $aHuman-computer interaction 606 $aElectronic digital computers$xEvaluation 606 $aHuman-machine systems 606 $aUser Interfaces and Human Computer Interaction 606 $aSystem Performance and Evaluation 606 $aInteraction Design 615 0$aUser interfaces (Computer systems). 615 0$aHuman-computer interaction. 615 0$aElectronic digital computers$xEvaluation. 615 0$aHuman-machine systems. 615 14$aUser Interfaces and Human Computer Interaction. 615 24$aSystem Performance and Evaluation. 615 24$aInteraction Design. 676 $a005.438 700 $aBrown$b John N.A$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0959437 702 $aFercher$b Anton Josef$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aLeitner$b Gerhard$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254821003321 996 $aBuilding an Intuitive Multimodal Interface for a Smart Home$92505996 997 $aUNINA
