Overview
Theory and programming of advanced human-computer interaction: natural and tangible interaction; ubiquitous, wearable, and mobile computing; mixed and augmented reality; future user interfaces; sensor and display technologies; societal issues.
This paper introduces the foundations and technologies for Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing. Since envisioned by Mark Weiser, the concepts of Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing are now reality. This paper will introduce the concepts and technologies needed for building Ubiquitous Computing applications. During the paper we will also cover risks and opportunities in pervasive systems, including privacy, security and ethical considerations. The paper will be complemented by practical experiences gained through building own Ubiquitous Computing applications in the lab.
