The majority of patients had history of recurrent herpes labialis on their lips, in the same location as disappearing vermilion. Disappearing vermilion is not accompanied by any change in consistency o...

Mental vs. Physical Disappearance: The Challenge of Interacting with Disappearing Computers

In this paper, I describe the challenges designers and developers of “user-interfaces” will face in the context of creating smart artefacts where the computer as a device will be in the background, will be “invisible”. I will start out by distinguishing between “mental” and “physical” disappearance and discuss a number of resulting design issues and affordances. I will especially address smart ...

Interacting with the Disappearing Computer: Evaluation of the Voyager Development Framework

We have developed a programming framework named Voyager, for making interactive applications with dynamically composed User Interfaces, consisting of remote input / output elements hosted by environment devices. This framework reflects our perspective of the disappearing computer concept as an infrastructure enabling mobile uses to exploit on the fly any available proximate devices for the purp...
