UBIQUITOUS ?

• Present, appearing or found everywhere.

UBIQUITOUS COMPUTING• Computers available anytime everywhere.

• Embedding MICROPROCESSORS in

everyday objects.

• Pervasive Computing.

• GOAL – smart, intelligent environment.

• VISION – small, inexpensive and robust

networked processing devices.

THREE ERAS OF COMPUTING

Mainframe Computing Many people to one computer

Personal Computing One person to one computer

Ubiquitous Computing One person to many computer

NATURAL INTERFACE

Speaking Writing Gestures

HUMAN – COMPUTER INTERACTION

Speech Recognition Free Form Pen Interaction

Gesture Recognition

CONTEXT – AWARE LEARNING

Information about theEnvironment

Google Self-Driving Car

AUGMENTED REALITY

• Digital information + Natural Environment + Real Time.

• Idea: Mask audio, graphics and other sensory augmentations over real-world environment in real time.

• Interactive Real World and Digitally Manipulative.

AMBIENT INTELLIGENCE

• Human Beings + Digital Information Technology + Ubiquitous Devices.

• Presence of Intelligence.

• Based on Sensing, Reason and Acting.

WEARABLE COMPUTING

FUTURE OF COMPUTING

• Vision of Ubiquitous Computing emerging rapidly.

• Smaller, cheaper, powerful computers.

• Everyday objects become “smart” and network themselves .

• Invisible or Disappearing Computing.

• Perspective.

“The most profound technologies are those that disappear. They

weave themselves into the fabric of everyday life until they are

indistinguishable from it.”

- Mark Weiser, father of Ubiquitous Computing
