An End User Tool for Customising Personal Spaces in Ubiquitous Computing Environments

We present a variant of end-user programming targeting ubiquitous computing environments that allows non-technical users to create “programs” to customise their personal living spaces. Using this end-users do not need to write program code, or follow a rigid sequential list of actions in order to achieve results Rather they only need to show the system the required behaviour via physical interactions with the environment. Finally, we report on a user evaluation that indicates end-users find this approach to be a useful and enjoyable experience.
