“…It exposes its entire functionality through the AmI-Solertis framework [19] so that the ambient facilities (i.e., services and agents) can propagate information about the overall context of use (e.g., environment's state and user actions) and implicitly or explicitly control its behavior or enhance its functionality on demand (e.g., integrate voice interaction [42] and enable location-based actions [43]). For example, if deployed inside an Intelligent Classroom [16], CognitOS Board architecture enables the delivery of context-sensitive interventions [44] that aim to relax stressed students or increase the attention level of distracted students through sophisticated educational applications [45,46], while it permits the implementation of external end-user applications that facilitate its control (e.g., enable remote management [47]).…”

The proliferation of Internet of Things devices and services and their integration in everyday environments led to the emergence of intelligent offices, classrooms, conference, and meeting rooms that adhere to the paradigm of Ambient Intelligence. Usually, the type of activities performed in such environments (i.e., presentations and lectures) can be enhanced by the use of large Interactive Boards that—among others—allow access to digital content, promote collaboration, enhance the process of exchanging ideas, and increase the engagement of the audience. Additionally, the board contents are expected to be plenty, in terms of quantity, and diverse, in terms of type (e.g., textual data, pictorial data, multimedia, figures, and charts), which unavoidably makes their manipulation over a large display tiring and cumbersome, especially when the interaction lasts for a considerable amount of time (e.g., during a class hour). Acknowledging both the shortcomings and potentials of Interactive Boards in intelligent conference rooms, meeting rooms, and classrooms, this work introduces a sophisticated framework named CognitOS Board, which takes advantage of (i) the intelligent facilities offered by the environment and (ii) the amenities offered by wall-to-wall displays, in order to enhance presentation-related activities. In this article, we describe the design process of CognitOS Board, elaborate on the available functionality, and discuss the results of a user-based evaluation study.
