Future direction... + • Combine built environment with energy and information generation and management.... • Create and environment that respond to its occupier(s) both in terms of energy and information needs.© 2007 By Benjamin SALEM℗ December 2007 By Ben Salem for CLC

What Is a Responsive Environment? • An Immersive Installation • A systems of components, both tangible and digital, that is engaging and attention grabbing towards its user(s) • A physical space • Technology and media enhanced to produce a rich, unique and changing user experience • A platform for the delivery of a variety of services • Potential for innovation and ground breaking applications© 2007 By Benjamin SALEM℗ December 2007 By Ben Salem for CLC

Speciﬁcations • Responsive Environment is an environment that is changing in many ways to adapt to its user(s). • The changes can be in the form of the physical structure of the space, for example removable panels and partition walls. • The changes can also be related to the ambient features of the space such as lighting, acoustic or temperature. • Finally the changes can relate to the digital content presented in the space, like the media, the information and the interactivity available. • These changes are performed as a form of adaptation to the user(s) of the space.© 2007 By Benjamin SALEM℗ December 2007 By Ben Salem for CLC

Design Solutions • Enhance the physical space • Uses technology and media • provide ubiquitous, universal access to services and content • Focus on the user experience • User attention periphery • Environment is centred on user experience© 2007 By Benjamin SALEM℗ December 2007 By Ben Salem for CLC

Research Areas • Three research areas: 1. Technology, products and systems (i.e. displays, connection, sensors) 2. Interaction, user experience and media (i.e. user interface, content, adaptation ) 3. Application, context and usage (i.e. spaces, location, communication)© 2007 By Benjamin SALEM℗ December 2007 By Ben Salem for CLC

SmartEx Results • Improvement in efficiency and effectiveness of exhibition booth • When participants were asked to report on their experience: • Top profiles: Great, easy and simple enough, was • Lowest profiles: unfair, frustrating, too hard on us compared to others......?!?!? • People are very perceptive of treatment differences and unfairness • People are more concerned about differences with others than overall efficiency and effectiveness!© 2007 By Benjamin SALEM℗ December 2007 By Ben Salem for CLC
