Inhaltsangabe:

Ambient Intelligence (AI) is a developing technology that makes our everyday environment more sensitive and responsive to our presence. AI requires technology invisibly embedded in our surroundings, present whenever we need it that will seamlessly integrate lighting, sound, vision, domestic appliances, and personal healthcare products to enhance our living experience. Written for the non-specialist, True Visions explains how the devices making up the AI world will operate collectively using information and intelligence hidden in the wireless network connecting them. Expert contributions address key components such as smart materials and textiles, system architecture, mobile computing, broadband communication, and underlying issues of human-environment interactions. The book unifies the perspectives of scientists from diverse backgrounds, ranging from the physics of materials to the aesthetics of industrial design to chronicle the emergence of ambient intelligence.
