Realization of u-Contents: u-Realism, u-Mobility and u-Intelligence

—Recently the developments of Ubiquitous Computing and Augmented Reality technologies have made many changes on the existing applications. However, the contents used in the applications have been not revised conceptually. Thus, an expansive representation of the contents is required to adapt resources to new computing environments, and to reflect new emerging features such as realism, mobility and intelligence. In this paper, we address a noble concept: Ubiquitous Computing enabled Contents (u-Contents). Firstly, three key features, u-Realism, u-Mobility and u-Intelligence, are reviewed. Secondly, the realization issues are explained based on the properties of three key features. Lastly, u-Contents are discussed from the viewpoint of possible applications.
