What if past consumer behavior has already iden;fied the killer app? 9
The Killer App: Social communica8on! 10
The Killer App: Social communica8on! 11
Social communica;on dominates rankings of the most popular smartphone apps. Derived from “Top 25 Mobile Apps by Unique Visitors” comScore Mobile Metrix, U.S., Age 18+, June 2014 12
People spend the most ;me in social apps. 13
Instead of IoT within homes, the killer app will come from IoT between homes. The smart and connected home The socially-connected home 14

Ghos8ng : Virtual Shared Living Imagine a life-long friend of yours who lives far away. • Hear him walk from room to room. • Hear him making sounds in around the corner. • See him turn lights on and off in other rooms. • Hear him shout to you from across the house. • Join him in the room he is occupying and chat. Ghos;ng works by synchronizing audio and ligh;ng contexts at a room level. 17

We explored the telepresence experience with two deployments. • One to test the audio experience • One to test mul;-room audio and light synchroniza;on Qualita;ve evalua;on of the core Ghos;ng experience. 53
The first deployment focused on audio synchroniza;on. Synchronized spaces: • Quiet 4-person office • Loud 10-person lab space Lek conference call sokware running for three days. 54
The second deployment focused on mul;- room audio and light synchroniza;on. Maryland Apartment Michigan Apartment Dining Bath Kitchen Bedroom Living Dining Bedroom Living Kitchen Bath Microphone Light: LIFX Bulb Light: Philips Hue Bulb Speaker Light: Wemo Insight-controlled holiday lights Light: Philips Hue Lightstrip 55
Audio synchroniza;on was performed using Skype and Google Hangouts.

Light synchroniza;on was performed using a custom stream-processing plaqorm. 57
We confirmed that the core ghos;ng experience is achievable. • Hearing someone walk between rooms • Hearing someone from the other room • Seeing someone control your lights • Need a visual indicator of room occupancy. • Need something for speaker to look at. 58
We found that auditory immersion has several system requirements. System requirements: • Good far-field microphone • Direc;onal speakers • Audio sokware – High-fidelity – Stream muxing – Echo cancella;on – Computa;onally efficient – Bandwidth efficient 59

High-res indoor tracking would enable extensions of the core applica;on. 67
Now we have our final design points. • Cura;on – Sokware TX/RX – Hardware TX/RX • Visibility – TX/RX state change è alert – TX/RX current state è at-a-glance • Telepresence – Auditory immersion – Occupant tracking (Presence and Iden;ty) – Avatar 68
What does the final infrastructure look like? • Computer, mic, and speakers in every room! • Ligh;ng control • Occupant tracking Networked to homes with similar capabili;es. 69
