abstract = {Today, Human Computer Interaction is increasingly shifting from 'information worlds' towards 'experience worlds'. Still, much research of smart environment technologies focuses merely on functional aspects. This paper recognizes the relevance of smart environment technologies on emotional experiences. We developed a ubiquitous media technology in a smart kitchen environment to enhance the user's emotions: A touch and voice controlled Visual Atmosphere App (VAA) that can change kitchen ambience through different atmospheric themes by using visual projection on the kitchen surfaces and sound effects. In a quantitative and qualitative laboratory user study (N=30) we measured the impact of the VAA on the user's emotional state. Our findings show that this ubiquitous media technology in a smart environment can have a significant (p<0.05) effect on emotion enhancement. This result is even stronger if the smart environment fits the user's personal preferences. This study is a step towards emotional experiences caused by smart environment technologies to foster desired psychological states.},

abstract = {Since several years, the “User Experience” topic is promoted by industries to be a good way for developing products and being successful on market. It claims to have a more holistic view on product development than usability. User-centered product development has to be extended by new methods in order to achieve a good user experience.
The “Smart Kitchen” project is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education & Research and our industrial partner E.G.O. GmbH. It aims to enhance the user experience of cooking by examining how digital media can be accessed intuitively using multimodal interaction. We use qualitative and quantitative empirical methods within various steps of the product development. In this iterative user-centered development process we ensure design solutions with very good user experience.
In the beginning, we identified user requirements in qualitative research by combining observation and interview methods in private surroundings. Based on these results we extracted “Opportunity Areas”, which point out potentials to enhance the user experience (e.g. user needs that are not or not sufficiently satisfied). In parallel we ran an online survey to detect positive experiences in current cooking situations. The results were structured into experience categories.
We used these opportunity areas and experience categories in innovation workshops with developers to create ideas for the kitchen of the future. The ideas are currently evaluated by users in qualitative and quantitative studies. By this, we ensure to meet relevant user requirements and to enhance the user experience of the solutions in an early stage of development - long before technical implementation.
The report will describe methods and results of the current evaluation.

abstract = {This work-in-progress paper describes our project SMARTKITCHEN, an interdisciplinary research project focusing on interactive display deployment in the kitchen - in particular around the cooking area. By applying a usercentered design approach the project aims to examine how screen-based interactive digital media can be accessed naturally in a constrained environment during the cooking process using multimodal interaction. Our main focus is on exploring new directions of supporting social and emotional aspects of the cooking experience. In this work-in-progress paper, we provide an overview on research directions, envisioned use-cases, and used technologies.},
