Abstract

Smart Environments refers to ambients integrated with smart technologies and should provide an easy-to-use and best experience to users. With the introduction of Intelligence Ambient, where Artificial Intelligence contributes to the interaction between people and the ambient’s Smart Devices, the Human-Computer Interaction can be more advanced. This paper proposes an advanced tactile small device that allows people to interact with smart devices in their proximity, without the need for any audio and visual interface .

This research was funded by MIUR, PRIN 2017 grant number 2017JMHK4F_004.
