Following mainframe and personal computing, we are not only carrying multiple intelligent systems with us, but we also encounter them in our environment. Human-computer interaction has to keep up with this paradigm shift towards Ubiquitous Computing. This dissertation presents new methods to interact with the myriad of spatially distributed components in a way that is not only efficient, but also provides a high user experience. The challenge lies in the inherent complexity caused by the multitude of different systems, their virtual connections and spatial relationships. A simple scenario from the smart home domain is the creation of a light scene by adjusting multiple colored lamps in a room. It is important to re-enable user control, by partitioning or presenting this complexity in a manageable way. According to the current state-of-the-art, almost every aspect of human action is influenced by the spatial relationships in our physical reality. In this work, we investigated how spatial interfaces must be constructed to improve the interaction with intelligent environments. This is based on an exploratory approach. We created several interactive prototypes, which were iteratively refined and evaluated in formative and summative user studies with many participants. The prototypes are inspired from related areas, which are already concerned with interaction in 3-dimensional space. Possible candidates are found in the mixed reality continuum which includes Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR). But the design also considered concepts derived from interaction with large display walls and prior work in the area of intelligent environments. In addition to the empirical results, we documented the design process and provide helpful tools and best practices for the development of these interactions.
