Abstract

An initial investigation on the use of "encrypted" public displays as a way of interfacing an ambient intelligent infrastructure in dementia care centers is presented. Ambient intelligence promises new opportunities for daily human life that will be simplified by making people's environments supportive, flexible and adaptive. Yet, a crucial aspect of these technologies is the acceptability of user interfaces: the move of computing from a localized tool to a constant companion imposes to reconsider the relationship between humans and computers. We investigated the acceptability of public displays as a way of representing monitoring information with contextual inquiries and scenario-based design with the operators of three dementia care centers.
