| Abstract | More than 95 million people in the European Union (EU28) are aged 65 years or above. How could smart environments support nearly a fifth of the European population to stay active, healthy and independent? This contribution shares experiences with respect to the degree user involvement influences the level of acceptance of complex smart environments in the domains of domotics and active & healthy ageing. An ageing society is confronted with challenges but in parallel there is a plethora of opportunities that might sooner or later impact the development and usage of smart environments. This was the starting point for the LebensPhasenHaus in Tuebingen (Germany), which provides the opportunity to touch, explore and experience technologies and services in the field of independent living. Following the quadruple helix approach of the European Commission, all relevant stakeholders (academia, businesses, government authorities and the civil society) have to be involved. Elerly volunteers help to raise the awareness and acceptance of smart environments by strengthening user involvement. It is shown how acceptance can be considered to be a running process, based in observations and experiences in Tuebingen. |
