Keynote: Building the smart home of the future
Speaker: Ariane van de Ven (Telefónica O2 UK)
Abstract:
In the future, our home will become a place of retreat from the pace of the outside world. With most of us leading global and mobile lifestyles, our homes, and the ability that we have to recreate a sense of home wherever we are will become increasingly important and will put more demands on technology. The home will be more connected, interactive and inclusive, allowing us to feel smarter, more efficient and empowered as human beings. Smart devices and apps will monitor consumption of energy, water and food instantly, enabling us to be more in tune with our environment.
The SMART HOME moves beyond simply measuring consumption towards self-adjustment in order to meet the needs of the inhabitants and deliver the most efficient solutions. Intelligent homes anticipate people's moods in a highly responsive environment. Technology allows us to synchronise our activities and our lives, and to align them with others. This places us in control, allowing us to play with time and make it work in our favour. We can reconnect with each other, with our passions and with ourselves. Home is where we recharge and relax, so we need it to offer security, as well as delineate our privacy --- it is the last truly private place in our hyperconnected society.
A growing emphasis on ``slow living'' is a response to our hyperconnected lifestyle --- we need to allow ourselves to dwell on a single task and enjoy processes rather than end results, whether it is cooking or playing or other favourite pursuits. The present becomes the focal point in a world that is dominated by parallel continuous activities. As technologies mature, the EMPATHIC and sensorial qualities of the home will become ever more sophisticated. The SMART HOME is not conceived to become obsolete, or designed for short-lived gratification. It is an investment in our future selves and an emotional commitment.
I will draw out the implications of this trend through 3 key areas:
THE INTEGRATED HOME: The home is not dissociated from the ``out of home'' anymore. People are increasingly social, thanks to technology. We put more demand on the home: we play more, we do more.
THE SECURED HOME: As the home is the last private place, consumers are increasingly concerned with security issues. They want to make sure their home is safe.
THE GREEN HOME: Given the choice, people will chose green energy because it is good for the environment and cost efficient. we can help educate consumers about their energy consumption to save energy and adopt more sustainable lifestyles.
