Ambient intelligence (AI) refers to a developing technology that will increasingly make our everyday environment sensitive and responsive to our presence. The AI vision requires technology invisibly embedded in our everyday surroundings, present whenever we need it that will lead to the seamless integration oflighting, sounds, vision, domestic appliances, and personal healthcare products to enhance our living experience. Written for the non-specialist seeking anauthoritative but accessible overview of this interdisciplinary field, True Visions explains how the devices making up the AI world will operate collectively using information and intelligence hidden in the wireless network connecting them. Expert contributions address key AI components such as smart materialsand textiles, system architecture, mobile computing, broadband communication,and underlying issues of human-environment interactions Makes the potential application of ambient intelligence (basics and promise) understandable to non-experts Explores the intriguing possibilities of exploiting the efectiveness of smart devices within a smart environment, especially in the home INDICE: Into Ambient Intelligence.- Information, Society, and Technology.-Ambient Culture.- Smart Materials.- Electronic Dust and e-Grains.- ElectronicTextiles.- Computing Platforms.- Software Platforms.- Mobile Computing.- Broadbrand Communication.- e-Infrastructure and e-Science.- Context Aware Services.- Computational Intelligence.- Social User Interfaces.- Multi-modal Human-Environment Interaction.- Intelligent Media.-Smart Environments.- Sensory Augmented Computing.- Experience Design.- Experience Research.
