“…Notably, to provide an "always connected" service, we were interested in complementing our already existing Hue lighting system with portable ambient lighting devices. After much deliberation and reference to the Smart Cane System designed by [49], we decided that the LED cane and wallet were most suited for conveying activity information while simultaneously adhering to the design heuristics.…”

In this chapter, we investigate the extent to which the realtime bidirectional exchange of activity information can influence contextawareness, social presence, social connectedness, and importantly interpersonal activity synchrony in mediated ambient assisted living (AAL) environments. Additionally, we describe the design, development, and assessment of a bidirectional ambient display platform to support realtime activity awareness and social connectedness in mediated AAL contexts. In a semi-controlled study, we evaluate a conglomerate of activitybased lighting displays, to determine the effects of real-time bidirectional deployment on behaviour and social connectedness. Exploiting everyday objects, human activity levels are projected with a Philips Hue lamp, LED wallet, and LED walking cane, which render this information based on predefined patterns of light. Results from the current study show tendencies toward (1) an increase in implicit social interactions (e.g., the sense of experienced social presence and connectedness), (2) more positive social behaviours between the elderly and their caregivers in mediated AAL contexts, and (3) sporadic moments of interpersonal activity synchrony however, further investigation is necessary to determine the extent of this variable in mediated AAL contexts. The work conducted in this chapter was carried out while the first author was a candidate in the Joint Doctorate on Interactive and Cognitive Environments (ICE) at the Eindhoven University of Technology and the University of Genova, which resulted in the following dissertation [22].
