Human-Computer Interaction in Intelligent Environments

This book offers a holistic understanding of intelligent environments, encompassing their definition, design, interaction paradigms, the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in HCI design and operation, and the associated broader issues with the design and use of AI enabled systems. It:

• Elaborates on the creation of intelligent environments, focusing on the design of interactions involving the Internet of Things (IoT), intelligent agents, and robots.
• Explores the advancements in AI research from a Human-Centered perspective, showcasing the potential applications of AI in HCI design, user interactions and user experience (UX).
• 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 role of HCI in various intelligent environment contexts, such as in automotive, urban interfaces, smart cities and beyond.

This engaging volume is written for individuals interested in human-computer interaction research and applications.
