Mixed reality participants in smart meeting rooms and smart home environments
Smart environments, Ambient intelligence, Embodied agents, Remote participation, Virtual reality
Human-computer interaction requires modelingof the user. A user profile typically contains preferences,interests, characteristics, and interaction behavior.However, in its multimodal interaction with a smart environmentthe user displays characteristics that show how theuser, not necessarily consciously, verbally and nonverballyprovides the smart environment with useful input andfeedback. Especially in ambient intelligence environmentswe encounter situations where the environment supportsinteraction between the environment, smart objects (e.g.,mobile robots, smart furniture) and human participants inthe environment. Therefore it is useful for the profile tocontain a physical representation of the user obtained bymulti-modal capturing techniques. We discuss the modelingand simulation of interacting participants in a virtualmeeting room, we discuss how remote meeting participantscan take part in meeting activities and they have someobservations on translating research results to smart homeenvironments.
