ABSTRACT
The Casablanca project explored how media space concepts could be incorporated into households and family life. This effort included prototypes built for the researchers' own home use, field studies of households, and consumer testing of design concepts. A number of previously unreported consumer preferences and concerns were uncovered and incorporated into several original prototypes, most notably ScanBoard and the Intentional Presence Lamp. Casablanca also resulted in conclusions about designing household social communication devices.

Sensor based micro context for mild dementia assistance
PETRA '10: Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on PErvasive Technologies Related to Assistive EnvironmentsDue to decline in their cognitive function, elderly people with mild dementia living alone at home are at risk of making errors in their activities of daily living (ADLs). In order to help such people, most activity recognition systems for assistive ...
Elderly Assistance Using Wearable Sensors by Detecting Fall and Recognizing Fall Patterns
UbiComp '18: Proceedings of the 2018 ACM International Joint Conference and 2018 International Symposium on Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing and Wearable ComputersFalling is a serious threat to the elderly people. One severe fall can cause hazardous problems like bone fracture or may lead to some permanent disability or even death. Thus, it has become the need of the hour to continuously monitor the activities of ...
