Abstract

These are the proceedings of the 5th Workshop on Interacting with Smart Objects (SmartObjects '17) in conjunction with IUI'17.

Objects that we use in our everyday life are ever-expanding their interaction capabilities and provide functionalities that go far beyond their original functionality. They feature computing capabilities and are, thus, able to capture, process and store information and interact with their environments, turning them into smart objects. Their wide range was covered by the submissions to this workshop.

Smart objects know something about their users and, thus, allow for natural interaction. Natural interaction, in contrast, does not imply smartness. Smartness requires interaction with users and provides help. There are already commercialized products available that expose their properties and interaction capabilities. To enrich their potential and to lower affordances, they need to talk to each other. Making sense out of the available data in this field is still an open research question. The overall goal should be to build an interactive ecosystem that (i) seamlessly discovers, connects and talks to its environment, (ii) is ubiquitous and (iii) allows the user to be in control.

The workshop examined these issues with regards to the following aspects:

  • Smart Cars

  • Smart Surfaces

  • Smart Homes and IoT

We are excited to welcome Dr. Stefan Radomski as our keynote speaker for his talk "From IoT to WoT: Can we reproduce the success of HTML in Smart Environments": Today, interaction within smart device landscapes is still, predominantly, characterized by isolated applications constrained to the ecosystem of a consortium or only a single vendor. When we regard the success of HTML to transform the Internet onto the Web, the question arises whether we can duplicate a similar transformation for the interaction with smart objects. In his talk, Stefan Radomski will give an overview of the current ambitions to standardize interfaces and interactions for smart environments.
