User Preferences of Voice Controlled Smart Light Systems

Authors Info & Claims
Published:08 September 2019Publication History

ABSTRACT

The use of smart home devices is widely spreading. Several ways exist to control such devices. Besides classical approaches such as buttons and remote controls, voice user interfaces (VUIs) are showcased as a primary input method in the context of smart home. Yet, few studies investigated the user's behaviour and experience with such newly offered input techniques. In this research, we carried out a field study to investigate the user preferences in using a VUIs for controlling a smart lighting system. The results indicate that the usage frequency drops after the first days and that users tend to use the system mainly once in the evening.
