Normal Dating Chatting Focus on social communication

(Grouping is recommendable) and research

Home situation - make a story -> start designing

Full design of flat

Different democratic group

*What makes look different (object)?
*Child or not
*Architecture (not only furniture)
*Use case
*Sensing what
*Actuator what intrigues
*Environment Sensor
*Devices

What do we need?

1. Background knowledge - ambient
2. NASA uses - office environment, overview, other ideas,
3. Design - Prototype - sensor connection, check video & image,
Now and Future (next 5 years)

Happen (scenario)
1. Come home from outside
2. Alarm off-> TV on -> turn on the light

Q) How can we sense mood or user's feeling?

Discussion) make user choose music and environment following mood (preset)
Advice) search this program (I-tune or something) - Customize*

* Technology - controlling - remote control
Changing (without pushing any button)
Optimal House -> we have to focus on

(Not for just one average target- why ambient)

* What do you like?
-Mood
-Preferences
-Gesture
Individually - separate (according to preference)
Try to identify in best way - preference and average

Program comes on TV
Feeling Phone
Mood Internet
Ambient - color, textile, texture, touch etc (exemption, association)

Define different ambient (Discussion)

* Just social
* Discussion
* Study
* Party
* Cleaning
* Eating
* Relaxing

(Different use) - Virtual reality
(Discussion) -> Provide tutorial, recipe, schedule, therapy...

(Advice) -> Think about situation and use of internet might be different according to age and purpose.

(Discussion) -> What you want to communicate with what technology?
* Think about tendency, Chance to different pattern...

(Advice) -> If you use just remote control, it won't interact.
And If just only focus on best way; one thing adjust all people's preference into one
We have to keep people's feeling.

Go outside (we have to think about it)

* Needs
* User Group
* Social Age
* Environment
* What interact?
* Google
* Movement
* Interview
* Statics
* Atmosphere

Feedback (Advice) - think about situation, more than remote controlling.
Difficulties, embarrass thing, privacy, relax, not thinking about what I'm doing or what will do, think about what will be happened (occasion, happening).
-> So case scenario is very important!
+ Optimal situation to no optimal.

Use storage
Ex) textile (color, sensors), pillow (say something when user use it- like memory)

Start from Living (spend most of time).
Object: Sofa, TV, Decoration (pictures, flowers etc).

Split into Object - sofa, TV, audio, shelves etc
Purpose - relaxing, entertainment, study etc

Advice - we can compare why we need to change following mood or needs
