Reflective Interaction Capabilities by Use of Ambient Manuals for an Ambient Light-Control

Daniel Burmeister, Andreas Schrader, Bashar Altakrouri

Abstract

Intelligent Environments like Smart Homes consist of a variety of interconnected devices, which are increasingly controlled by NUI. However, provided interaction possibilities and functionality are often not obvious to users. Illustrating such scenario, we've developed an ambient light-control using two NUI devices for interaction. Building on this, four ambient manuals reflectively explaining available interaction possibilities and functionality on different output devices were developed in a participatory design process. With a total of 60 subjects all manuals were evaluated regarding workload.
