MW4HBI: Mobile and Wearable Human-Building Interactions with a Multi-Platform User Interface

In this paper we introduce Mobile and Wearable Human-Building Interactions with a Multi-Platform User Interface (MW4HBI). We start with laying out the guidelines to design responsive user interfaces for mobile and wearable devices. Then, we provide technical specifications for deploying a multi-platform application that manages entertainment and household appliances in smart buildings via a variety of input devices. Finally, we present the results of a small-scale end-user study on the preferences for ambient parameters inside smart buildings.
