商品描述

Examine the history of smart homes, how technology shapes our lives, and ways you can think about the home when developing new products. This book presents the opportunities in the homespace that will come from understanding the history and multiple players that have contributed to the development of the home in general. 

You'll start by breaking down the historical, societal and political context for the changes in focus of that ‘smartness’ from affordability, efficiency, convenience to recently experimentation. The second half of the book then reviews what current developments tell us about what our homes will look like in the next 10 years through the lens of spaces, services, appliances and behaviours in our homes. 

Over the past 100 years, the home has been a battleground for ideas of future living. Fueled by the electrification of cities, the move from the country to cities, post-war recovery and the development of the internet, the way we live at home (alone or with others) has changed beyond recognition. 

Science fiction writing, the entertainment industry, art, and modern interior design and architecture movements have also contributed to defining our aspirations around a future and now more present and possible ‘smart’ home. 
Smarter Homes looks at the many new and innovative products that are being developed in the consumer and industrial spaces with a copy-paste mindset based on following larger businesses, such as Amazon, Google and Apple. 


What You'll Learn
  • Understand the historical context for current smart home products
  • Review the social aspect of home product development
  • Discover new home technologies being developed and which ones are available now
  • Track the industry behaviors being leveraged and how they may affect longer term market trends for consumer products

Who This Book Is For

Everyone working in product design and development, in R&D or in trends research, as well as those interested in the IoT for the home. This book will also give product business owners ideas about what has been done before and and avenues for future development.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

檢視智慧家庭的歷史、科技如何塑造我們的生活,以及在開發新產品時可以如何思考家庭。本書呈現了透過理解歷史和多方參與者所帶來的家庭空間機會,這些參與者對家庭的發展有著重要貢獻。

您將首先分析「智慧」的焦點從可負擔性、效率、便利性到最近的實驗性變化的歷史、社會和政治背景。本書的後半部分則透過空間、服務、家電和我們在家中行為的視角,回顧當前的發展告訴我們未來十年我們的家會是什麼樣子。

在過去的100年中,家庭一直是未來生活理念的戰場。隨著城市電氣化、從鄉村遷移到城市、戰後復甦以及互聯網的發展,我們在家中的生活方式(無論是獨自一人還是與他人同住)已經發生了翻天覆地的變化。

科幻小說、娛樂產業、藝術以及現代室內設計和建築運動也對我們對未來以及現在更具現實性和可能性的「智慧」家庭的期望產生了影響。

《智慧家庭》探討了在消費者和工業領域中,基於跟隨大型企業(如Amazon、Google和Apple)的複製心態而開發的許多新穎創新產品。

您將學到的內容:
- 理解當前智慧家庭產品的歷史背景
- 回顧家庭產品開發的社會面向
- 發現正在開發的新家庭科技以及目前可用的技術
- 追蹤行業行為的利用情況,以及這些行為如何影響消費產品的長期市場趨勢

本書適合對象:
所有從事產品設計和開發、研發或趨勢研究的人士,以及對家庭物聯網感興趣的人。本書也將為產品業務擁有者提供有關過去所做的事情和未來發展方向的想法。
