Overview
Recently we see some home appliances in our daily life that are becoming more intelligent thanks to sophisticated machine learning algorithms and Artificial Intelligence. Apple’s Siri, Amazon’s Echo (Alexa), or Microsoft’s Cortana are examples of such
appliances. They can understand user’s speech and provide user-intended information or functions. Such interactive devices play a role like a ‘order-taker’ in modern times.
However, it is sometimes bothersome to interact with those devices by speech, as users need to express their intention by selecting exact expression in natural language.
In our design work, we put an assumption that an ideal interactive interface should be able to understand user’s intention from user’s situation without speech, and discuss how such interface would be realized.
Let’s join us and design ‘Non-verval Interactive Kitchen’ of a future life scene.
