Homes and working spaces are considered significant contributors of energy consumption and carbon emissions worldwide. Previous studies in the field of home-and building automation have demonstrated the sustainability gain brought by smart home solutions, in terms of energy-efficiency, economic savings, and enhanced living and working conditions.A major barrier, however, to the adoption of these solutions is the complexity and limited usability of user interfaces. As a response to these challenges, this study investigates the use of gestures as a natural way of controlling and interacting with home automation systems.Using the available motion capture technology, a gesture dictionary will be defined as a set of meaning actions in free-form and in-air movements. A usability test will be conducted to measure the resulting socio-technical aspects. Lastly, the study will present the analysis and effects of gestures control for a higher up-take of smart home solutions towards designing and maintaining buildings of the future that are both user-centric and resource efficient to reduce our overall carbon footprint.iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTSThe author extends his sincerest gratitude to the following people who made this graduate thesis possible and a worthwhile endeavor.To Prof. Olaf Droegehorn, my thesis supervisor, for the utmost patience and sincerity for keeping up with my quirks. After all the long consultation hours spent during the formulation, implementation and documentation of the thesis, and personal mentoring that made this study possible, thank you very much.To Prof. Jean-Philippe Georges, Prof. Jari Porras, and Prof. Karl Andersson, the country coordinators, for the knowledge shared during the early stages of the thesis, and the appraisals given with our accomplishments during final presentation of this thesis.To Prof. Eric Rondeau, the PERCCOM programme coordinator, who inspired me to pursue this undertaking with hopes of realizing the real-world applications of technology and innovation to help address issues on sustainability. Thank you for choosing to grant me this Erasmus Mundus Master scholarship, and for the trust as I fulfill my duties as the former Erasmus Mundus Association programme representative for PERCCOM.To the PERCCOM Consortium, the faculty of professors from our different universities, and the industrial partners who guided me in shaping the knowledge that helped me accomplish the tasks needed in this research.To all the university and administrative staffs from France, Finland, Russia, United Kingdoms, Sweden, and Germany, especially to Caroline Schrepff, our very hardworking PERCCOM secretary, for the time they dedicated in answering my questions, preparing necessary documents for us, and for making sure of our smooth mobility from different countries.To the European Commission responsible for the Erasmus+ programmes, for this one-of-a-kind learning experience of sharing myself with the world. Thank you!

“…Sin embargo, se pone de relieve la limitación de solo basarnos en gestos, siendo estas construcciones socioculturales que varían de acuerdo a diversos factores. Por ello, al hablar de una "interacción natural de gestos" se hace en realidad referencia al registro y utilización de movimientos simples y fáciles de aprender (de Carvalho et al, 2013).…”

“…Ambientes inteligentes 2. Ambientes inteligentes Dentro del desarrollo de las TIC, los sistemas inteligentes incorporan la capacidad de interpretar acciones y gestos humanos y las traduce a necesidades a las cuales responder; de esta forma, se puede inferir que cuando estos sistemas se conjugan con infraestructura, dan paso a lo que se conoce como "ambientes inteligentes" (De Carvalho Correia et al, 2013;Ekman, Paul y Keltner, Dacher, 1970;El Murabet y Abtoy, 2019;Fernández-Caballero et al, 2016;Fransson et al, 2007;Navarro-Tuch et al, 2018). De acuerdo a lo analizado por El Murabet y Abtoy (2019), no existe actualmente un consenso en cuanto a su defi nición, encontrándose un uso alterno e indiferenciado del término "domótica".…”

La arquitectura refleja la intencionalidad del diseñador por transformar el espacio y contribuir a la percepción de confort del usuario. En este proceso integra tecnologías de la información y comunicación —domótica— intensificando su interacción con diversos elementos del entorno. Su aplicación ha permitido hasta ahora la comunicación unidireccional del usuario con el espacio, pero al incorporar el reconocimiento inteligente de emociones se transforma en bidireccional posibilitando la respuesta del espacio, adaptándose. El presente artículo explora este cambio radical en la relación usuario-espacio y propone un modelo conceptual basado en el confort como punto de partida para profundizar en su estudio.

“…Many factors led to the choice of using the Kinect for Windows (https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/ kinect) over other candidates-for example, Leap Motion and Asus Xtion (http://www.asus.com/3D-Sensor/Xtion/)of gestural devices in the implementation of a nonperceptual gesture-based interface [15]. It is a well-grounded technology that has been on the market for years, with both theoretical and practical background supported by a great number of scientific researches, not only for entertainment, but also in the medical field [16,17].…”

As gestural interfaces emerged as a new type of user interface, their use has been vastly explored by the entertainment industry to better immerse the player in games. Despite being mainly used in dance and sports games, little use was made of gestural interaction in more slow-paced genres, such as board games. In this work, we present a Kinect-based gestural interface for an online and multiplayer chess game and describe a case study with users with different playing skill levels. Comparing the mouse/keyboard interaction with the gesture-based interaction, the results of the activity were synthesized into lessons learned regarding general usability and design of game control mechanisms. These results could be applied to slow-paced board games like chess. Our findings indicate that gestural interfaces may not be suitable for competitive chess matches, yet it can be fun to play while using them in casual matches.
