“…The idea behind smartmirrors, which are also occasionally referred to as "magic mirrors", is to present the viewer a mirror image (reflection) of themselves, augmented with dedicated information. Such mirrors can be realized, for example, with a video camera, which records the viewer, and a conventional computer screen (e.g., [32]) or a computer screen modified with a one-way mirror film to enable a reflective screen [6,19,46]. Smart mirrors have been increasingly studied, for example, in terms of re-thinking traditional usage of mirrors (e.g., makeup tasks [32], usage in fashion stores [28]), identification/authentication approaches [31], or enabling software frameworks [19].…”

“…Early work that addressed the usage of smartmirrors in smarthomes was presented by Helal et al [20] with the "Gator Tech Smart House", which includes a smartmirror in the bathroom for important messages or reminders. Since then, more and more work (e.g., [6,19,31,45,46]) presented smartmirrors for the home context.…”

“…Apart from such physiological data (e.g., heart rate) that cannot be directly determined by users, camera images also reveal data that users can recognize themselves in the mirror image, such as emotions emanating from their facial expressions [6,45,46]. Yu et al [46] demonstrated the feasibility of a smartmirror, that was placed in a bedroom, to alleviate the emotion of users. If users were in a sad mood, the mirror played positive background music along with positive words and sentences.…”

Have you ever experienced a mirror that not only "sees" how you see yourself, but tells you how others perceive you? May such a smartmirror help not only adapt/improve oneself externally (look) but also internally (mood, emotions)? What are the expectations, fears (privacy)? The acceptance of such a smart thing requires approaches that go beyond technology-driven designs. In this paper, we report on the construction of an affective emotion-sensitive smartmirror as a smart piece of furniture for smarthomes and explorative studies with that system which address somaesthetics and aims to help inhabitants in self-reflection. The paper presents and discusses the prototype implementation and the results of a study in which the ideas, concerns, and experiences for/with the self-reflection capabilities of the affective smartmirror were explored by participants using the prototype as a technology probe.

Abstract:The paper discusses Home Area Networks (HAN) communication technologies for smart home and domestic application integration. The work is initiated by identifying the application areas that can benefit from this integration. A broad and inclusive home communication interface is analysed utilizing as a key piece a Gateway based on machine-to-machine (M2M) communications that interacts with the surrounding environment. Then, the main wireless networks are thoroughly assessed, and later, their suitability to the requirements of HAN considering the application area is analysed. Finally, a qualitative analysis is portrayed.

With the growth of the popularity of large screens in the consumer market and the enrichment of the online and offline video resources, enjoying a dynamic remote scenery at home has become an interesting application. This paper presents an intelligent screen system for the user to interactively enjoy different sceneries of remote places. Different from existing works, the system is aware of the current environment, and the weather condition in the remote scenery video is associated with that of the local place in different ways to bring the user a natural and pleasant viewing experience. Meanwhile, the system is able to transform the layout of the scenery video according to the user's position and viewing angle, making the user feel like viewing the outside scenery through a real window when walking and looking around in front of the screen. A prototype consisting of a large screen and several low-cost sensors is implemented and a series of tests are conducted. The results show that the proposed system can effectively improve the users' experience on natural scenery viewing and make the process more pleasant. The system fits for screens with various sizes and can be easily installed, making it a scalable and ease-of-use consumer device in smart home 1 .
