Abstract

Recently developed wearable devices have opened up new capabilities in human interactions with the world. Home automation is an area of interest for the application of wearable devices. Currently, home automation is performed with home control panels or mobile devices. This paper, on the other hand, presents an implementation of home automation using the Google Glass. With a few simple voice commands or finger swipes, the user can monitor the home and control home appliances, thus bringing a new level of interaction with the home. The Glass communicates with an online server that relays commands to a microcontroller to execute certain tasks. The microcontroller is, in turn, able to communicate sensor information to the Glass through the same server. This framework serves as a prototype that demonstrates the potential for wearable technology to simplify the user’s in home experience. In the future, it can be expanded to include more features and more devices for the user to interact with in the home.
