Abstract:
In recent years, pervasive systems have gained importance in the context of home automation. Social online communities are becoming more and more popular, and indoor positioning techniques have made considerable progress. Thus, creation of virtual environments integrated with the physical world that enhance the user’s perception and cognition, becomes feasible. In this paper, we propose a system combining these concepts into something we call a cyber physical multimedia system. This technology leverages pervasive audio communities that facilitate social activities for people with limited mobility, such as the elderly or handicapped.
