    The document summarizes the results of the AMBIENCE project, which aimed to develop context-aware environments through ubiquitous computing and natural human-computer interaction. The project created architectures, methods and tools for networked environments that can locate and recognize people and objects, understand intentions, and adapt to the user context through learning. It demonstrated these concepts across domains like mobile, professional, and home environments through six demonstrators, including an indoor navigation system, an intelligent meeting room, and an ambient intelligent home with a robotic assistant. The demonstrators achieved challenging results in ubiquity, context awareness, intelligence and natural interaction.

    PROJECT RESULTS

    CONTEXT-AWARE
    ENVIRONMENTS
    for Ambient Services

    Ambient Intelligence is an exciting new concept in information technology, in which people


    are empowered through a digital environment that is aware of their presence and context.
    The environment is sensitive, adaptive and responsive to their needs, habits, gestures and
    emotions. The issues posed by ambient intelligence require multi-disciplinary and
    multicultural research, with input from computer science, electrical engineering, interaction
    design and behavioural studies.

    Ubiquitous systems with natural interaction

    Ambient Intelligence merges two important trends: ‘ubiquitous computing’ and ‘social user
    interfaces’. It builds on advanced networking technologies that enable robust, ad-hoc networks
    to be formed by a broad range of mobile devices and other objects (ubiquitous/pervasive
    computing). By adding adaptive user-system interaction methods, based on new insights into
    the way people like to interact with computing devices (social user interfaces), better digital
    environments can be created. These context-aware systems combine ubiquitous information,
    communication, and entertainment with enhanced personalisation, natural interaction and
    intelligence.

    Architectures and methods for context-aware environments

    Ambient intelligent environments support ubiquity, awareness, intelligence, and natural


    interaction. Ubiquity means being surrounded by numerous interconnected embedded
    systems, which are invisible (in the background). Awareness means that the system can locate
    and recognise objects, devices and people, and understand their intentions. Intelligence means
    the digital environment is able to analyse the context, adapt itself to users, learn from their
    behaviour, and eventually recognise and, perhaps, even show emotion. Natural interaction
    refers to providing functions, such as speech and gesture recognition, as well as speech
    synthesis. The AMBIENCE project jointly created networked Context Aware Environments. It
    generated concepts and developed architectures, methods and tools. To validate the concepts
    the required technologies were integrated into operational systems, and were demonstrated
    on systems for home, office and public building environments.

    Demonstration of challenging results

    Challenging results were achieved in the area of ubiquity, context awareness, intelligence and
    natural interaction. The project achievements were demonstrated in two demonstrators in
    each operating area, such as the mobile, professional and the home domains. The two mobile
    domain demonstrators were called “Guide to a Meeting” and “Indoor Navigation”. The first
    demonstrator was created at the Philips Research Lab in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. A
    location-aware conference delegate support system, it comprised a robust and modular
    integrated server that used an architecture inspired from the web services model, biometrics
    access control, wireless connectivity using mobile robot routers to optimise Quality of Service
    (QoS) and a Zig Bee-based Radio Frequency (RF) localisation system. The second demonstrator,
    developed at the France telecom R&D site in Grenoble, integrates alocation-technology-
    independentlocation-management system together with a Personal Digital Assistant (PDA)-
    based indoor navigation application that includes a Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) player for
    interactive scalable display of visual navigation data.

    The two demonstrators for the professional domain were called “Intelligent Meeting Room”
    and “Smart Design Studio”. The first acts as a joint demonstrator; it was developed at the Barco
    site and connected to a remote office of KU Leuven using a robot (Mak Tub) mediated link. The
    other demonstrator was developed at the design studio of Italdesign-Giugiaro and
    demonstrated a highly interactive design approach for cars through use of a broad range of
    interaction modes, including speech, gesture, tangible objects and a dedicated digital pen for
    the wall-sized display used. Two demonstrators were also created for the home domain. These
    were named “Ambient Intelligent Home” and “Multimedia Browser”. The first one was
    developed at the Philips’ Home Lab in Eindhoven, the Netherlands and includes the robotic
    assistant “Lino”. A range of entertainment, communication and personal health applications
    have been demonstrated, and evaluated in part. The second demonstrator was developed at
    the Thomson site in Rennes, France. In this, a speech recognition module and a virtual
    presenter were integrated successfully in a ‘movie-recommender’ interface, which, as well as
    content navigation and recommendation modules, used textual feature extraction and vision-
    based user recognition. All demonstrators have been recorded on video.
