Yu-Chun Hsiao | Contextual Interactions with Smart Hub
Yu-Chun Hsiao, Masterthesis 2025
Contextual Interaction is a design concept that explores HCI for smart devices, with a focus on smart hubs in the living environment. The project aims to create more intuitive interactions by responding to the user‘s context. Through a multimodal approach, users can interact using touch, gesture, facial expression, voice, and posture, while the device communicates through ambient light, haptics, sound, voice, motion, projected display, or even other connected devices. This richness in input and output enables the smart hub to adapt fluidly to diverse scenarios, offering a more natural interaction experience within everyday life.
