Smart Environments

Smart Environments (SEs) are ordinary environments augmented with input devices (e.g., sensors, vision and tracking systems, tangible and wearable interfaces) and output devices (e.g., screens, lights, speakers, mechanical actuators) that are able to sense and respond to the users which inhabit them.

SAL research about SEs regards the definition of architectures and platform for enabling the development of open and modular SEs as well as specific specific applications and components.

The focuses SEs applications include:

  • smart homes (i.e., domotics)
  • smart buildings (i.e., building automation)
  • smart artistic environments (i.e., interactive artistic installations)
