Moving information and control
In a ubiquitous computing environment such as the interactive room, users will work flexibly with information and services that are independent of any one device or device type. Several projects are exploring better ways to move information and interfaces across devices in an integrated interaction space.
Event Heap: An infrastructure for dynamic event creation and interchange across devices.
Interface Crafter: Generating interfaces for information appliances for extensible collections of services.
iROS: An overall infrastructure architecture that incorporates the Event Heap and other components.
MultiBrowsing: Moving information across displays and browsers
PointRight: A system for pointer/keyboard redirection among multiple displays and machines
Smart Presenter: Presentation design in a multi-device space.
Beyond the desktop
We are exploring a wide variety of interfaces that use devices other than traditional desktop/laptop machines, for information seeking, communication, and new kinds of applications. Computers as monolithic, very visible, central, and often private entities should be replaced by many wirelessly connected parts, mixing small public and private artifacts dynamically. Devices should melt into the periphery of the rooms, walls, furniture, clothes, etc. Computing and communication devices should ideally come into focus only when needed.
