Abstract<br />

Research on smart homes <strong>and</strong> ubiquitous homes is often highly focused on the challenges<br />

<strong>and</strong> obstacles <strong>for</strong> establishing <strong>and</strong> living in smart homes. Few have studied peoples’<br />

motivations <strong>for</strong> establishing smart homes as well as the real life experiences living in such<br />

homes. We have had the chance to study 27 homes of very wealthy people around the<br />

world, living in homes containing the smartness <strong>and</strong> intelligence money can buy today.<br />

We report on the passions <strong>and</strong> experiences motivating people to live in smart<br />

environments. In particular we describe how people use technologies <strong>for</strong> staging<br />

themselves <strong>and</strong> <strong>for</strong> exposing their power.<br />
