- 2. Introduction Domotics represents a technological science which studies all the things employed in the houses or the buildings facilitating the work of peoples and increasing the comfort in their environment. Nowadays there are many offers of domotic systems in the market but most of them are focused on the technology rather than the user. Interacção Homem-Máquina - MIEEC - DEEC 2 11-02-2011
- 3. Why Domotics? Energy Security saving Flixibility Comfort Interacção Homem-Máquina - MIEEC - DEEC 3 11-02-2011
- 4. Main tasks of a domotic system Lightning HVAC Security Entertainment Intercoms • Integration of thegas Audio and video switching water telephone or the video door Detection of control leaks,and distribution of on and off signals Temperature fire,switching withthe leaks Replace manual intercom to Automation • entry system of Management access Presence all to the control (ex. Humidity andlights television setSecurity anywhere for any orcontrolmultimedia content fromcameras and motion • Communication between multiple rooms sensors) Regulation of electric illumination levels according to the level of ambient light available Interacção Homem-Máquina - MIEEC - DEEC 4 11-02-2011
- 5. Conventional Domotic Systems Touch based devices • Central control unit • Not a portable interface • No extra pointing device required • Easy to use • Intuitive • The interface can be easily programmable and changed Interacção Homem-Máquina - MIEEC - DEEC 5 11-02-2011
- 6. Conventional Domotic Systems Buttons based remote controls • Portable • Slim and small • Confuse? (1 - turn off the curtains or the lights??...) • Lack of feedback in some cases • Centered control • Easy to use (not always) Interacção Homem-Máquina - MIEEC - DEEC 6 11-02-2011

- 8. Motion detection devices Wii/Sony Move • Gesture-based interface • Wireless controlers • Pointing device • Detects movement in three dimensions • Workspace constraints Interacção Homem-Máquina - MIEEC - DEEC 8 11-02-2011
- 9. Motion detection devices XBOX Kinect Gesture-based interface Camera-based scheme that read body movements No need to carry additional control devices Interacção Homem-Máquina - MIEEC - DEEC 9 11-02-2011
- 10. Ipad/Iphone Portable Easy to use Visual feedback Configurable interface Intuitive Interacção Homem-Máquina - MIEEC - DEEC 10 11-02-2011

Comparison table Conventional systems New interaction styles Buttons Wii/Sony Touch based XBOX Kinect Ipad/Iphone Based Move • Easy to use • Portable • Gesture • Gesture • Portable(ev • Intuitive (inside the recognition recognition erywhere) • Configurable house) • More • More • Easy to use interface • Slim natural natural • Visual • Visual • Small size interaction interaction feedback Advantages feedback • Centered • Easy to use • No aditional • Configurabl control control e interface devices • Easy to use • Not portable • Lack of • Spatial • Spatial feedback restrictions restrictions • May be • Need visual • Need visual confuse contact contact Desadvantages
- 12. Solution proposed Use XBOX Kinect like systems instead of wii or Sony move (no need any controler, just gestures) Use of Ipad/Iphone like devices Control easily all the domotic system from anywhere (through an always-on internet connection) Complements the gesture recognition systems when there is no visual contact Interacção Homem-Máquina - MIEEC - DEEC 12 11-02-2011
- 13. Novelties Lightning Regulation of electric illumination levels according to the activities of the users through behaviour recognition Turn on and off the lights using gestures (individually or an entire room for instance) Interacção Homem-Máquina - MIEEC - DEEC 13 11-02-2011
- 14. Novelties HVAC Control the temperature remotly or by gestures Interacção Homem-Máquina - MIEEC - DEEC 14 11-02-2011
- 15. Novelties Security Automatically lock the doors and windows when there is no one at home Automatically activate and deactivate the alarm system House monitoring using the Ipad/Iphone like device notificating the user of important events (like a fire!)

- 16. Novelties Entertainment Integrated system that allows streaming content between all the multimedia devices (as an example, you can start a photo slideshow in your TV or play some ambient music with your portable device) Control multimedia devices (TVs, sound systems, etc) using gestures Interacção Homem-Máquina - MIEEC - DEEC 16 11-02-2011
- 17. Novelties Intercoms Integration of the video and audio door entry system to the Ipad/Iphone like device Communication between your device and any/all rooms of the house Interacção Homem-Máquina - MIEEC - DEEC 17 11-02-2011
