Simplifying Human to Environment Interaction through Touch Computing

چکیده
This work analyses the use of NFC technology to simplify the interactions of users with context-aware services offered by intelligent environments. Touch Computing is a novel explicit user interaction mechanism in which users accompanied by their NFC-enabled mobile devices request services from the environment by touching tags or other NFC-enabled devices. This paper describes the deployment of three NFC-aware services within SmartLab, our AmIdedicated lab, and the user experience derived from them. Moreover, it analyses the possibilities offered by the current state of the art on NFC and suggests some future lines of work, which may revert into its more widespread deployment in the near future.

Haptics in Education: Exploring an Untapped Sensory Modality
As human beings, we can interact with our environment through the sense of touch, which helps us to build an understanding of objects and events. The implications of touch for cognition are recognized by many educators who advocate the use of "hands-on" instruction. But is it possible to know something more completely by touching it? Does touch promote the construction ofnmore connected and mea...
متن کاملPanohaptic Interface for Architectural Filmic Improvisation
This project attempts to redefine an augmented reality (AR) architectural concept of traversing the filmic space as a method in a new remote navigational interfa cing. Through Panohaptic visualization one is invited to experience a soft architectural space in an improvisational manner, connecting the physical optic world to the haptic through AR and digital filmic media. The main goal is to be...
متن کاملInteractive Multi-touch Surfaces for Software Visualization
Most software systems are developed by teams of people. The tools used to develop and maintain these systems are primarily designed from a single-user perspective and are bound to Integrated Development Environments (IDEs). These design decisions do not allow users to collaboratively navigate through software visualizations or to analyse software easily. We are investigating whether multi-touch...
متن کاملTouch Interaction through Tagging Context
Ambient Intelligence promotes a shift in computing which involves fitting-out the environments with devices to support context-aware applications. One of main objectives is the reduction to a minimum of the user’s interactive effort, the diversity and quantity of devices with which people are surrounded with, in existing environments; increase the level of difficulty to achieve this goal. The m...
متن کاملSource Code Interaction on Touchscreens
Direct interaction with touchscreens has become a primary way of using a device. This work seeks to devise interaction methods for editing textual source code on touch-enabled devices. With the advent of the “Post-PC Era”, touch-centric interaction has received considerable attention in both research and development. However, various limitations have impeded widespread adoption of programming e...
