# MIT Smart Rooms
* http://vismod.www.media.mit.edu/vismod/demos/smartroom [17-11-97]
- MIT Media Lab
- “Smart Rooms act like invisible butlers. They have cameras, microphones, and other sensors, and use these inputs to try to interpret what people are doing in order to help them.“
- Using cameras, microphones, and sensors, the system tries to capture what people are doing in a room. For example, a virtual dog on a large projection screen responds to gestures of a person in front of the screen. This system was used to construct a number of unique application environments

# The Adaptive House/ Boulder, Colorado
* http://www.cs.colorado.edu/~mozer/house/
* http://www.cs.colorado.edu/~mozer/papers/nnh_overview.html
- prototype of a control system in an actual residence
- house is equipped with many sensors and actuators
- system based on neural network techniques etc. learns to manage heat, water, air heat, lighting and ventilation.
- Typical home comfort systems utilize only rudimentary forms of energy management and conservation. The most sophisticated technology in common use today is an automatic setback thermostat. Tremendous potential remains for improving the efficiency of electric and gas usage. However, home residents who are ignorant of the physics of energy utilization cannot design environmental control strategies, but neither can energy management experts who are ignorant of the behavior patterns of the inhabitants. Adaptive control seems the only alternative. We have begun building an adaptive control system that can infer appropriate rules of operation for home comfort systems based on the lifestyle of the inhabitants and energy conservation goals. Recent research has demonstrated the potential of neural networks for intelligent control. We are constructing a prototype control system in an actual residence using neural network reinforcement learning and prediction techniques. The residence is equipped with sensors to provide information about environmental conditions (e.g., temperatures, ambient lighting level, sound and motion in each room) and actuators to control the gas furnace, electric space heaters, gas hot water heater, lighting, motorized blinds, ceiling fans, and dampers in the heating ducts.


# Intelligent Room/ MIT 1998

* http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/nr/1998/smartroom.html
- Three research projects are listed under this name. Intelligent Room, which was presented at the 1st international workshop on Cooperative Buildings, seems to have evolved to a new project called Hal: The Next Generation Intelligent Room. It seems that they are building something interesting using Vision, Gesture and Speech Recognition techniques. Vision Interface Project works on perceptual human-computer interfaces.

# Augmented Surfaces/ Sony CSL
* http://www.csl.sony.co.jp/person/rekimoto/as
- A computer augmented environment allowing for spatially continuous operations across portable computers, table and wall displays, and other physical objects (videotapes, document folders, etc.). A window on a portable computer jumps out onto a table display (Hyperdragging) and the other way around. Pick and Drop operations can be done using Laser pointers. Digital Attachment links physical object like book pages to related digital objects. PropCamera on a table display creates 3D views on a wall display.
