Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to explore urban life and the ambient in relation to smart technologies, the augmented and virtual, electric vehicles, robotics, and extended realities. A review of the research literature is conducted in the context of smart, learning, and future cities for smart homes, electric vehicles, robotics, and extended realities. Issues, controversies, and problems emerging from the literature review are highlighted, contributing to formulation of a conceptual framework for smart technologies, the augmented, and virtual in urban life and the ambient in smart cities. Using an exploratory case study approach combined with an explanatory correlational design, variables pertaining to the exploration are identified, and the nature of their relationship is assessed. Through the lens of smart technologies in urban life, ranging from smart homes to extended realities, applications are explored in smart cities while informing directions for future research and practice.
