The use of computers and technologies is an inevitable option in realizing smart spaces. Although research on HCI that connects users and technologies is a very important field, there have been few systematic studies in Korea. Although research has been conducted, there have been few studies on adoption and needs toward the elderly. This study emphasizes the HCI aspect and multidisciplinary approach that was not covered in the existing smart space research and proposes a new direction of smart space research that responds to user needs with a focus on the user experience. Through a more in-depth study of the elderly, this research identifies the needs of the elderly and the Internet of Things (IoT) technology that supports specifically the elderly.
