Abstract

In this paper, the design of the a web-based Smart Home system is introduced. The proposed system provides a web interface through which users are able to check the home status and control the domestic appliance remotely as long as they have a PC system connected to the Internet. In order to give users a more vivid way to access the Smart Home system, a web based 3D interface with virtual reality technology is proposed in this paper. The rooms, appliances and furniture are reconstructed in the web-based interface. Users can “look around” in the virtual home remotely. They are able to check the security alarms, control the appliances in the 3D virtual reality similar as they do in real homes.
