ABSTRACT
This paper contributes to the exploration of user preferences of device-free interaction with smart appliances and services in the domestic environment. We presented a prototype system for on-surface gesture control to users in a natural environment and surveyed the perceived advantages of a potentially truly ubiquitous input method. Results show a positive attitude of users towards augmenting domestic environments with such a system. By reporting the most influencing user characteristics and our experience in designing the system we want to inform developers of future systems that support multiple input devices to better understand the role of device-free input in domestic spaces.
