(KI - Künstliche Intelligenz: Vol. 31, No. 3, 2017) van de Ven, Jasper; Dylla, Frank
In this paper we present the spatial interaction laboratory (SIL), an ambient intelligence (AmI) at the Bremen Spatial Cognition Center, University of Bremen. We describe three scenarios that guided design of hardware and software components. We sketch the environment and the middleware, which provides the basis for further functionality development. Furthermore, we give examples of existing components and stress the importance of privacy as a key acceptance factor for ambient intelligence.
