Human Factors of XR: Using Human Factors to Design XR Systems
Ambient intellegence
1. Ambient Intellegence
• AmI is an emerging discipline that brings
intelligence to our every day environments and make
those environments sensitive to us.
• In an ambient intelligence world, devices work in
concert to support people in carrying out their
everyday life activities.
• More and more people make decisions based on the
effect their actions will have on their own inner,
mental world.
2. Photonics Enabling AmI
• Making technology
invisible, embedded in
natural surroundings,
present whenever we
need it and making
interaction with
technology simple
effortless.
4. AmI Technologies
Ambient intelligence is based on 3 key technologies:
– Ubiquitous Computing
– Ubiquitous Communication
– Intelligent User Interfaces
5. Ubiquitous Computing
• Ubiquitous Computing means the integration of
microprocessors into everyday objects like furniture,
clothes, toys, etc.
• Using Ubiquitous Computing people will not be
aware of the presence of computers, they will be in
the background.
6. Ubiquitous Communication
• Ubiquitous Communication enables these objects to
communicate with each other and with the user by
means of ad-hoc and wireless networking.
• Intelligence User Interfaces enables the inhabitants of
the AmI to control and interact with the environment in
a natural(voice, gestures) and personalized
way(preferences, context).
Intellegence User Interface
14. Future Scope
• Many AmI applications relying upon wireless sensors
are at the mercy of the battery life for the sensors.
• Challenge is to model multiple residents in an
environment.
• Challenge for AmI researches is to design self-testing
and self-repairing AmI software.
• Issues related to security and privacy for AmI
systems.
