Human-computer Interaction and User Experience in Smart Home Research: a Critical Analysis
نویسندگان
چکیده
The development of the smart home presents new challenges to the application of human-computer interaction and user experience (HCI/UX), providing many possibilities for smart home users to suggest additional practical requirements. Based on diverse fundamental theories and various practical implementations, we propose four innovative approaches including efficient general control panels, effective user interfaces, variable accessibility, and secure privacy. These proposed approaches can help designers and developers optimize the user experience in smart homes and satisfy the users’ non-functional requirements by improving the efficiency and effectiveness of the user experience. We discuss the importance of each of these approaches and provide detailed instructions on how to implement each of them. Finally, we conclude the paper with an analysis of the practical implications of our approaches and a discussion of possible new features of the smart home.
