This document discusses embracing an open source philosophy for building user experiences (UX). It advocates for designing open buildings by selecting products with documented APIs, no vendor lock-ins, and no unnecessary middleware. Open integration allows for linking any system to interact with any other, enabling personalized pre-building to in-room experiences. The presenter is from ACAEngine, an open source smart building platform, and encourages selecting open alternatives to closed systems.
