Human-Computer Interaction in Intelligent Environments

This book offers readers a holistic understanding of intelligent environments, encompassing

their definition, design, interaction paradigms, the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI), and the

associated broader philosophical and procedural aspects.

• Elaborates on AI research and the creation of intelligent environments.
• Zooms in on designing interactions with the IoT, intelligent agents and robots.
• Discusses overarching topics for the design of intelligent environments, including user interface adaptation, design for all, sustainability, cybersecurity, privacy and trust.
• Provides insights into the intricacies of various intelligent environment contexts, such as in automotive, urban interfaces, smart cities and beyond.

This book has been written for individuals interested in Human-Computer Interaction research and applications.
