Situation-Dependent Browser to Explore the Information Space
The conventional desktop metaphor is ill-equipped to assist modern users who are already flooded with information. Meanwhile mobile computing is becoming a common activity of many modern users who are engaged in time critical tasks. We propose, in this paper, a new framework called Situated Information Filing and Filtering (SIFF) for information management based on a user’s situation which cons...
متن کاملEnsemble Computing
There is a nexus of technologies that is currently the subject of intense interest in the research community. The explosion of Internet and wireless connectivity, the miniaturization of components, and the diversification of computer-based devices is fueling research in areas such as ubiquitous computing (Gellersen, 1999; Thomas & Gellersen, 2000; Weiser, 1991), pervasive computing (Husemann, 2...
متن کاملA Situated Model and Architecture for Distributed Activity-Based Computing
In this position paper, we introduce the situated activity model, an activity theory informed activity-based computing (ABC) model that unites the description of activity and situated contexts into one computational model. By introducing a unified activity model, we seek to connect cross domain activity systems ranging from desktop systems to pervasive computing and beyond. In this paper, we de...
متن کاملExploring real world points of interest: Design and evaluation of object-centric exploration techniques for augmented reality
Augmented reality (AR) enables users to retrieve additional information about real world objects and locations. Exploring such location-based information in AR requires physical movement to different viewpoints, which may be tiring and even infeasible when viewpoints are out of reach. In this paper, we present object-centric exploration techniques for handheld AR that allow users to access info...
متن کاملThe Personal Server: Personal Content for Situated Displays
The Personal Server is a small, lightweight, and easy-to-use device that supports personal mobile applications. Instead of relying on a small mobile display, the Personal Server enables seamless interaction with situated displays in the nearby environment. The current prototype is supported by emerging storage, processing, and communication technologies. Because it is carried by the user and do...
