Then there would be access points, e.g. screens/projections, traditional tv area, fridge, study, bedrooms where the remote can access a broader range of functions [almost 13 years ago]
following on the idea of having a controler, they could be how the people interact with the house, so each person would have one e.g bracelet. I would envisage a limited number of functions could be carried out through gestures without requiring a screen, e.g lighting and room temperature and phone/intercom. a limited umber of functions to toggle between and operate by movement [almost 13 years ago]
A challenge will be the operating system and the arrangement of functions so as not to confuse people. [almost 13 years ago]
A benefit is in intuitive interaction with the technology, you want to turn a page you turn a page making it easy to pick up especially older technology phobic people. [almost 13 years ago]
Another challenge would be to isolate the controller’s movements. This could be done by a specified position in the room, eye contact, or by a device worn by the controller e.g. a bracelet [almost 13 years ago]
There would need to be a menu bar to go to all the options, or more likely in the example where the tv was in operation, you could have favourites set up in the tv view on the side perhaps, e.g. lights and telephone, like a living room setting, which would be available without navigating into the main menu [almost 13 years ago]
Each mode would require an activation to avoid confusion, so for example if you had the tv on, you would need to slide the on bar etc to enable the tv remote rather than it picking up on random movements. [almost 13 years ago]
Adding to that if you turned your hands into a typing position – if virtual fingers and a virtual keyboard came up on screen that would be very useful typing [almost 13 years ago]
The home computer will also hold documents, images, videos, books and the interaction/gestures required with these are well documented via iphone/ipads [almost 13 years ago]
In a home scenario: In a similar method to scrolling apps on an iphone/ipad, if the information was presented on a screen or projection then that would be an easy fit for a person to gesture control a home computer system, which can control almost all areas of a home, from security cameras, tv, lighting music etc [almost 13 years ago]
