  1. Ubiquitous Computing Scott Klemmer 06 October 2005

  2. Ubiquitous Computing • networked • networked • networked • …but to make the world “calmer”, not to connect your faucet to your cell phone Ubicomp

  3. “for every ant in the world today there are 100 transistors” - Gordon Moore, 2003 Ubicomp

  4. Computing by the inch, foot, & yard • At each scale, the devices have input, computation, and output • Different than more recent work (e.g., that of Abowd et al) where these elements are often decoupled Ubicomp

  5. http://nano.xerox.com/hypertext/weiser/UbiMovies.html Ubicomp

  6. Rem Koolhaas: S M L XL Ubicomp

  7. Computing by the inch, foot, & yard • Originally: ParcTabs • Today • Palm Handhelds • Smart Phones • model: add computation to thedevice that is already networked Ubicomp

  8. Computing by the inch, foot, & yard • ParcPads • Today: Tablet Computers Ubicomp

  9. Computing by the inch, foot, & yard • LiveBoards • Today: SMART Boards Ubicomp

  10. Privacy • Dog food / kool aid • Danyel Fisher and email • The nurses in east bay express Ubicomp

  11. Evaluation • With embodied virtuality, “tasks” aren’t as discrete, and evaluation (both methods and metrics) is much harder Ubicomp

  12. Foreground & Background Interaction • Buxton 1980s • Hinckley TOCHI Ubicomp

  13. Mobile: What actually happened Ubicomp

  14. Making Sense of Sensing Systems • Bellotti et al., CHI 2002 • When I address a system, how does it know I am addressing it? • When I ask a system to do something how do I know it is attending? • When I issue a command (such as save, execute or delete), how does the system know what it relates to? • How do I know the system understands my command and is correctly executing my intended action? • How do I recover from mistakes? Ubicomp

  15. At Home with Ubiquitous Computing • Edwards & Grinter, Ubicomp 2001 • The "Accidentally" Smart Home • Impromptu Interoperability • No Systems Administrator • Designing for Domestic Use • Social Implications of Aware Home Technologies • Reliability Ubicomp

  16. Unpacking Privacy • Dourish and Palen, CHI Ubicomp

  17. Further Reading • General Ubicomp • Bellotti et al, Making Sense of Sensing Systems • Tolmie et al, Unremarkable computing(Equator Workshop) • Edwards & Grinter Ubicomp • Privacy • Heinrich et al, Privacy by Design (Ubicomp 01) • Dourish & Palen, Unpacking "privacy" for a networked world (CHI 2003) Ubicomp
