What is Ubiquitous Computing

(UbiComp)
Ubiquitous computing is the method of
enhancing computer use by making many
computers available throughout the physical
environment, but making them effectively
invisible to the user.
Integrate computers seamlessly into the world
invisible, everywhere computing.
often called pervasive/invisible computing.

Ubicomp is about making computers invisible.

Ubiquitous computing = mobile

computing + intelligent environment.
Technology View

Computers everywhere embedded into fridges,
washing machines, door locks, cars, furniture.

Intelligent environment.

Mobile portable computing devices

Wireless communication seamless mobile/fixed.
User View

Invisible implicit interaction with your environment.

Augmenting human abilities in context of tasks

Ubicomp vs. Virtual Reality

Should we live in virtual computing world? Or should
computing come out and live in our physical world?

VR is about simulating physical world & putting people
inside virtual computing world. (Limited applications &
activities.).

Ubicomp is about bringing computing to peoples
physical world, integrating with everyday objects and
activities.

Ubiquitous computing is an integration of human
factors, computer science, engineering, and social
sciences.

Evolution
Constraint:
- best way to serve the user community is not clear.

Approach:
- Prototype the solution
- Acquire feedback from users.
- Modify the application
(with least possible downtime)

Transparent
Interfaces
Awareness
of Context

Experience
6

Generic Features
TRANSPARENT INTERFACES
- Hide their presence from user
- Provide interaction between user and application

Examples:

Gesture recognition

Speech recognition

Free form pen interaction

Computational perception etc.

Generic Features
TRANSPARENT INTERFACES
Keyboard and mouse are still the most
commonly used interfaces !!
Need:
- flexible interfaces
- Varied interfaces that can provide similar
functionality
8

Generic Features
CONTEXT AWARENESS
Context information about the environment
with which the application is associated.
LOCATION and TIME are simple examples
of context !

Generic Features
CONTEXT AWARENESS
Context aware application:
- is one which can capture the context
- assign meaning to it
- change behavior accordingly
Need:
Applications that are context aware and allow
rapid personalization of their services.
10

Generic Features
AUTOMATED CAPTURE

To capture our day-to-day experience and

make it available for future use.
Constraints:
- Multiple streams of information
- Their time synchronization
- Their correlation and integration
Need:
Automated tools that support capture, integration and
future access of info.

Software structuring issues

IF (modifications to the system are not done
correctly)
THEN (downtime of the system may increase
drastically)
Hence, structuring is imperative for such an
approach of UbiComp application
development !!
