Multimodal Dialogue for Ambient Intelligence and Smart Environments

  • Chapter
Handbook of Ambient Intelligence and Smart Environments

Abstract

Ambient Intelligence (AmI) and Smart Environments (SmE) are based on three foundations: ubiquitous computing, ubiquitous communication and intelligent adaptive interfaces [41]. This type of systems consists of a series of interconnected computing and sensing devices which surround the user pervasively in his environment and are invisible to him, providing a service that is dynamically adapted to the interaction context, so that users can naturally interact with the system and thus perceive it as intelligent.
