Our Ubiquitous Computing Home Inside: A Practical Approach Emerging into House and Home

To make practical ubiquitous computing environment for everyday activities especially for house and home, the environment has to be proactively managed by the users at home themselves. This paper introduces an “Our Ubiquitous Computing Home Inside Project” and outlines some of our usercentered information architecture and interaction technique to provide practical ubiquitous computing environment at home. We have implemented two prototype systems called Coordi and Collenda to demonstrate our approach, and applied these to clothing coordination task. The result shows that the systems were proven to be useful for managing information and for decision-making.
