Domotic Systems New interaction styles
João Pinto e Vítor Pedro
Domotics represents a technological science which studies all the things employed in the houses or the buildings facilitating the work of peoples and increasing the comfort in their environment.
Nowadays there are many offers of domotic systems in the market but most of them are focused on the technology rather than the user.

Main tasks of a domotic system
Lightning HVAC Security Entertainment Intercoms
• Replace manual switching with Automation of on and off signals for any or all lights
• Regulation of electric illumination levels according to the level of ambient light available
• Temperature control • Humidity control • Detection of fire, gas leaks, water leaks • Presence and access control (ex. Security cameras and motion
sensors)
• Audio and video switching and distribution • Management of multimedia content from anywhere • Integration of the intercom to the telephone or the video door
entry system to the television set • Communication between multiple rooms

Conventional Domotic Systems Touch based devices
• Central control unit • Not a portable interface • No extra pointing device
required • Easy to use • Intuitive • The interface can be easily
programmable and changed

Conventional Domotic Systems Buttons based remote controls
• Portable • Slim and small • Confuse? (1 - turn off the
curtains or the lights??...) • Lack of feedback in some cases • Centered control • Easy to use (not always)

Solution proposed
Use XBOX Kinect like systems instead of wii or Sony move (no need any controler, just gestures)
Use of Ipad/Iphone like devices
Control easily all the domotic system from anywhere (through an always-on internet connection)
Complements the gesture recognition systems when there is no visual contact
Regulation of electric illumination levels according to the activities of the users through behaviour recognition
Turn on and off the lights using gestures (individually or an entire room for instance)
