Abstract
The project studies the design principles for applying proactive computing in homes. It aims to create examples that successfully advance and synthesize knowledge in three areas:
- the design principles of proactive home applications (intelligent media),
- guidelines for creating proactive interior elements and other objects for future homes (smart products), and
- combinations of new materials and technologies to meet the demands of the two previous research dimensions (interfaces with intelligent media).
Keywords: intelligent media, smart products design, embedded interfaces, personal electronics, proactive computing
