Abstract

Smart homes are technologically augmented spaces where several interconnected devices; artifacts and other services are available to support people. In such spaces, natural interaction with devices and things may free people from working in a desktop-like setting and provides intuitiveness in accessing various services of interest. For example, when reading a newspaper, a person might want to turn on the light or activate the media player while sitting on a couch. The proposed system provides avenues to create geometric annotation map of smart home things. The annotation map is then compared with the user’s realtime location data in order to realize programmable context-aware interaction rules with smart home services. Further, we demonstrate how the programmable framework can facilitate interaction using commonly used paradigm of TouchMe, PointMe and ScanMe to interact with Internet of Things and show the suitability of the proposed work.
