text: Within the last years the concept of trust has attracted increased attention
in the field of smart home environments. However, little is known about what determines
trustworthiness in this context. For this reason the objective was to examine
mental models in terms of anthropomorphic perception of smart home environments
and its relation to trustworthiness. Two studies (N=36) were carried out in the
Future Care Lab, a simulated intelligent home environment. We used the teach-back
method to help participants to talk about the smart home environment technology
and asked to generate a metaphor of an experienced home-monitoring scenario. Finally,
we applied linguistic analysis of responses to detect anthropomorphic characteristics.
In general, results demonstrate inspiring metaphors related to the personal assistance
system, e.g. "like an airbag…" or "like a family member…", which might be useful
for future interface designs and approaches of communication in the context of
smart home environments. However, no relation of anthropomorphism and trustworthiness
could be found. Therefore, we suggest an anthropomorphic threshold, which should
be investigated by using an improved method and trust scale.

text: 'The manifolds of spaces and places we are entering, populating, transiently
crossing and eventually leaving (only to immerse in another subsequent context)
as part of our daily activities in our personal, public and professional lives
are undergoing a dramatic change. Although this change is taking place we are
aware of it only in a limited fashion due to its unobtrusive character as illustrated
in the statement by Streitz and Nixon (2005): “It seems like a paradox but it
will soon become reality: The rate at which computers disappear will be matched
by the rate at which information technology will increasingly permeate our environment
and our lives”.'
