Abstract

This paper is concerned with multimodal assisted living environments, particularly based on gesture interaction. The research of ambient assisted living is about the provision of a safe, comfortable, and inde-pendent lifestyle at a domestic environment. We refer to spatial gestures and gesture recognition software and present an observational user study related to gestures in the Bremen Ambient Assisted Living Lab (BAALL), a 60m2 apart-ment suitable for the elderly and people with physical or cognitive impairments.
