Together, they will present the "HUmans at home projecT - HUT" project, which aims to investigate and understand the conditions linked to the well-being of inhabitants in the intelligent housing of the future:

• What is our relationship with tomorrow's habitat, and how will we live in it?
• What are the living conditions like in the typical home of the future: a potentially urban apartment, equipped with numerous sensors, actuators and analysis systems?
• What is possible, desirable and acceptable to contribute to well-being in the intelligent home of the future?

HUT takes a multi-disciplinary approach to the major scientific questions linked to the habitat of tomorrow:

• What connected information will we share? How and why?
• How do we interact with intelligent housing?
• How can technology improve our living conditions?
• What legislative framework for the housing of the future?

HUT brings together scientists from 12 research laboratories and 8 innovative companies: researchers specializing in sensors, data, language, movement, commerce... Architects, legal experts, historians and psychologists have come together to understand and design the apartment of the future for the occupant of the future, around an innovative experimental device.
