CS 6724: User Interfaces for Built Environments Spring 2016 Denis Gracanin New sensor, mobile, and control technologies have great promise in connecting users to their environment. Smart built environments (e.g., a smart house) enhanced with technology (e.g., Internet of Things) can support better living to improve the lives of individuals, groups, and the broader community, including increased awareness of information in the user’s surroundings, integrated control over factors in one’s surrounding and home environments, and increased ability to support sustainable living for both individuals and groups. In this class we will explore how to design and implement intuitive user interfaces and interaction techniques that take full advantage of available technologies and provide timely information to the users. The focus will be on mixed reality and non-traditional, spatial user interactions. We will use FutureHAUS (http://www.vtfuturehaus.org) as a case study.
