Abstract

To address the worldwide ageing problem, research on smart homes and assisted living emerged recently focusing on supporting the self-care of the elderly at home. This paper presents an experimental implementation of a smart home which makes use of indoor localization technology, ubiquitous computing, and augmented reality to enhance the interactions of the elderly with household objects so as to make the home anticipative and responsive to their needs and preferences.
