Abstract
Humor is important in our life, whether it is at home, at work, or in public spaces. Smart technology is increasingly becoming part of our daily life. Can smart technology, sensors and actuators, not only be used to introduce smartness in our environments, but also to introduce amusement? So far understanding of humor has escaped algorithmic approaches. Nevertheless, humor research knowledge is available and is increasing. First philosophers, then psychologists, then linguists and AI researchers made humor topic of their research. The aim of this paper is to introduce humor research to the human-computer interaction community. In particular we look at how our digitally enhanced physical worlds, or smart environments, can facilitate humor creation.
