2. Two Views of The Future Pervasive computing
Objective: to get the end user experience right
Focus on designing devices that are easier for users to find relevant information.
Carnegie Mellon and IBM
Human-centric computing
Objective: to create an entire solution so that the human is always connected, as opposed to the device.
Focus on embedding devices in objects that humans interact with on a daily basis
Project Oxygen at MIT
3. Three Elements of Human-Centric Computing Device constantly with you
Contains a camera, a video screen, the equivalent of a cell phone/beeper, a headphone jack, a GPS, and a pointing device.
Embedded devices in the walls, ceilings, car trunks, or any place where a device can be installed.
The entire network will be custom-configured to what you want and will be controlled by your voice
4. Projected Benefits Individuals:
Users will not be as frustrated
Computer becomes a slave
Pertinent and accurate information
Organizations:
Accessible employees
Dissolution of boundary between work and home
Daily interaction with customers
Financial reduction in training and education of users
5. Projected Benefits Humanitarian:
Easier global collaboration
Removal of social boundaries
Less judgmental and prejudice society
Increased opportunities for third world countries
6. Projected Risks Connectivity overload
Computers watch our “intimate” moments
Lack of privacy
Exploitation of third world citizens
Reliance upon voice as only means of input
7. A Timeline of Implementation First pervasive devices are already beginning to infiltrate the market
Wearable computer
Microsoft’s Project Hailstorm
Human-centric computing is beyond the near term
Project Oxygen prototype will be available in 2002
Full version available in a decade
Beyond human-centric computing
Artificial intelligence and machine learning increase
Biological computing
8. How to Get Started Focusing on having systems serve people
Look at today's speech systems
Look at automation
Look at how people work
Look at customization
Look at what you are doing in your daily actions
Begin slowly
