Older users, multimodal reminders and assisted living technology
The primary users of assisted living technology are older people who are likely to have one or more sensory impairments. Multimodal technology allows users to interact via non-impaired senses and provides alternative ways to interact if primary interaction methods fail. An empirical user study was carried out with older participants which evaluated the performance, disruptiveness and subjective...
متن کاملFrom Users’ Needs to System Specifications: A Care System Supporting Older People’s Independent Living
Following a user-centred approach, twenty-three older people participated in individual structured interviews. These aimed at identifying end-users’ needs and requirements to feed the specifications of the ubiquitous care system to support older peoples’ independent living, CONFIDENCE. Five types of user needs to guide the design process were obtained. Health and ageing effects are important fa...
متن کاملSupporting Mobility and Collaboration in Ubiquitous Computing
For unknown reasons, research into ubiquitous computing seems to pay no attention to collaboration among users in such an environment. This paper presents the design philosophy of activity-based computing (abc) and a technical implementation of it in a ubiquitous computing infrastructure, the ABC framework, which takes collaboration in ubiquitous environments as its starting point. The idea of ...
متن کاملJini Supporting Ubiquitous and Pervasive Computing
The overall purpose of this article is partly to give a brief overview of the TangO conceptual model, partly to explore the Jini technology as a means for support of pervasive systems in general and the TangO conceptual model in particular, and to emphasize the advantages and weaknesses of the Jini technology for ubiquitous computing. We will validate our survey of the Jini Technology against t...
متن کاملSupporting Activity in Desktop and Ubiquitous Computing
The emergence of the ubiquitous computing paradigm in the early 1990s marked the beginning of a new era of computation in the workplace. Weiser envisioned a world in which we no longer focus our attention on a single box while we work with information; rather, the proliferation of small, powerful, connected computing devices would allow computation to " vanish into the background " (Weiser, 199...
