Replacing them with other proprietary devices just moves boundaries in interacting with ambient services to other designated hardware. It still does not pay attention to preferences and capabilities of particular users. Our aim is to abstract from concrete devices used for controlling services in the environment. In this paper we introduce a toolkit for developing software solutions working with any device as input device delivering meaningful events to services.enText/Conference Paper1617-5468
