N2 - The science fiction prototype 'Alice's incitements in
Wonderhome' introduces an intelligent home for the aged
that provide motivational and personalized activities,
assistance, and memory support. The prototype is based on
two intelligent environment research studies: 1) a study
that constructed a do-it-yourself creation and
configuring tool into a nursing home environment, and 2)
a study that aimed at finding means for seniors to
compose their memoirs. The science-fiction prototype
highlights important results of both studies by
emphasising the motivational aspects of configuring the
environment. It further describes new interaction
mechanisms afforded by future technologies and novel
research opportunities for the cloud of things.
