philips - BUILDING THE VISION

This paper is a result of an applied research project by philips into ambient intelligence in the home. Researchers spend 1 year in a home studying all possibilities to use ambient intelligence. They noted that the biggest challenge for future technology is thus to be not only physically embedded
but also to be interwoven into the social context of the home of the future. Researchers focused upon 3 consumer needs in the study:

1. the need to belong & share experiences
2. the need for thrills excitement & relaxation &
3. the need to balance & organise one’s life.
