Ikea’s research and design lab Space10 has created an online platform that suggests creative ways that technology can be used to improve our homes. Ten design and technology studios were invited to produce prospective apps and tools for Everyday Experiments, which examines how to “create a better everyday life at home” with the help of AI, machine learning, AR, spatial intelligence, interaction design, gaze and gesture tracking, and beyond.

Some of the experiments seem genuinely useful, particularly the space design tools like Room Shuffle, Home Puzzle and Room Editor, which would offer people a way of envisaging how a new layout or piece of furniture would look at home.
