Meta-User Interfaces for Ambient Spaces
نویسنده
چکیده
In this article, we propose the concept of meta-User Interface (meta-UI) as the set of functions (along with their user interfaces) that are necessary and sufficient to control and evaluate the state of interactive ambient spaces. This set is meta-, since it serves as an umbrella beyond the domain-dependent services that support human activities in an ambient interactive space. They are User Interface-oriented since their role is to help the user to control and evaluate the state of this space. We present a dimension space to classify, compare, and contrast disparate research efforts in the area of meta-UI’s. We then exploit the generative power of our design space to suggest directions for future research.

Meta-User Interfaces for Ambient Spaces: Can Model-Driven-Engineering Help?
PERSONAL WORK RELEVANT TO THE WORKSHOP My goal is to develop concepts and techniques that allow users to control and understand the ambient interactive spaces in which they live. With ambient computing, we are shifting from the control (and understanding) of systems and applications confined to a single computer to that of a dynamic computational aura where the boundaries between the physical a...

Lack of trust is one of the key bottle necks in e-commerce development. Nowadays many advanced technologies are trying to address the trust issues in e-commerce. One among them suggests using suitable user interfaces. This paper investigates the functionality and capabilities of 3D graphical user interfaces in regard to trust building in the customers of next generation of B2C e-commerce websit...
متن کاملCooking with the Elements: Intuitive Immersive Interfaces for Augmented Reality Environments
The glut of information produced by ubiquitous computing in augmented reality environments requires that the resulting information displays be tailored to the attention of users and mapped directly to the objects and surfaces of the space. This paper proposes a method for designing and implementing ambient information displays combining ambient displays and augmented reality to produce useful i...
متن کاملAmbient Interfaces: Design Challenges and Recommendations
Ambient interfaces go beyond the classical graphical user interface and use the whole environment of the user for the interaction between the user and the system. In this paper we describe the design and implementation of ambient interfaces to facilitate the easy and smooth cooperation and coordination among geographically dispersed team members. We report on results of user involvement in the ...
متن کاملContext-Aware Cognitive Agent Architecture for Ambient User Interfaces
An ambient user interface is a set of hidden intelligent interfaces that recognize user’s presence and provides services to immediate needs. There are several research activities on user interfaces and interactions which combining VR/AR, ubiquitous computing/ambient interfaces, and artificial intelligence. However, real-time and intelligent responses of user interfaces are still challenging pro...
