The system that’s been developed can track users’ actions over time to understand and predict their habits

The Smart Composite Human-Computer Interfaces (Smarcos) project is developing a system that will allow the rising number of internet-connected devices to observe and predict consumers’ actions in real time, so they can intelligently coordinate their efforts and bring up relevant information whenever needed, with the least amount of human intervention.

The rapid evolution of the electronics industry means that sophisticated microchips are becoming much cheaper and we can afford to embed them into more and more devices around us. By the end of the decade, as world population will near the 8 billion mark, estimates by Ericsson say that there may as many as 50 billion internet-connected devices all around the globe.

And so as our cars, smartphones and washing machines keep getting “smarter” and more sophisticated, we need to make sure that they do exactly what we want them to do at any given time, spending very little time managing them, while still reaping the full benefits that can come from living around a network of smartly integrated, internet-connected devices.

The Smarcos project aims to do exactly that. Without changing the look and feel of the user interface, the system that’s been developed can track users’ actions over time to understand and predict their habits.
