By so doing, it aims to propose a clarification of the types of objects frameable by Design Fiction (DF), and shorten the gap between the latter and Interactive Fiction (IF), IoT (Internet of Things) fictions and AR (Augmented Reality) whenever these practices are being used to tell stories. Smart-houses will be used as an example of successful DF narratives.12836583engDigital HumanitiesDesign FictionInteractive FictionInternet of ThingsLiterary TheoryNarratologyHumancomputer interactionSmart Housesconference object
