DVD player, internet telephony, air conditioning unit or TV: Imagine that every device and service unit in your home is networked together and it’s childplay for you to operate them all from a personal remote control. That is the goal of the i2home project, funded by the EU and managed by DFKI Saarbrücken. The project consists of nine partners in research and business implementing an open, standards-based platform (universal remote console ISO/IEC 24752), that makes it possible to interact with an unlimited number of devices and services over a central, operator interface customized for the user’s personal needs.
