Augmented Photoframe for Interactive Smart Space

  • Conference paper
Book cover Aging Friendly Technology for Health and Independence (ICOST 2010)

Abstract

Existing “photoframes” are single application closed proprietary systems. In this paper, we will outline the possibilities that emerge when we expose the control API of the digital “photoframe” to the local network. The “photoframe” is connected to an execution environment that aggregates intelligence in the smart space. We will describe briefly the Execution environment functionalities and then focus on the new interaction with the “photoframe” this enables. We will report our experience to proof that usage of a “photoframe” in this fashion creates real added value for elderly users in an assisted living environment.
