ABSTRACT
The residential environment is getting smarter, and home appliances have become connected each other automatically. Accordingly, user interface also has become increasingly complicated. In this paper, we found the main causes of making the users uncomfortable at home by task analysis, and then suggest a new interactive system suitable to the smart home. Ambient Wall interface enables users to monitor what's happening in their house at a glance, and control their surroundings by simple gesture without any physical interface device.

Exploring pen and paper interaction with high-resolution wall displays
UIST '10: Adjunct proceedings of the 23nd annual ACM symposium on User interface software and technologyWe introduce HIPerPaper, a novel digital pen and paper interface that enables natural interaction with a 31.8 by 7.5 foot tiled wall display of 268,720,000 pixels. HIPerPaper provides a flexible, portable, and inexpensive medium for interacting with ...
3-D interaction with a large wall display using transparent markers
AVI '10: Proceedings of the International Conference on Advanced Visual InterfacesIn this paper we proposed a new interface for interacting with large displays via small video devices such as a cell phone. We estimate the location of the camera relative to the display using a matrix of transparent markers embedded on display. As a ...
