Ambient Interfaces: Design Challenges and Recommendations
نویسنده
چکیده
Ambient interfaces go beyond the classical graphical user interface and use the whole environment of the user for the interaction between the user and the system. In this paper we describe the design and implementation of ambient interfaces to facilitate the easy and smooth cooperation and coordination among geographically dispersed team members. We report on results of user involvement in the design and implementation of these ambient interfaces and user feedback from evaluation. We discuss consequences for the design of ambient interfaces and derive design guidelines.

Model-based tools for pervasive usability
This paper aims to provide a discussion of how model-based approaches and related tools have been used to address important issues for obtaining usable interactive software and the new challenges for this research area. The paper provides an analysis of the logical descriptions that can be used in the design of interactive systems and how they can be manipulated in order to obtain useful result...
متن کاملUnderstanding Artefact and Process Challenges for Designing Low-Res Lighting Displays
Low-resolution (low-res) lighting displays are increasingly used by HCI researchers, designers, and in the industry as a versatile and aesthetic medium for deploying ambient interfaces in various contexts. These display types distinguish themselves from conventional high-res screens through: high contrasts, hi-power LED technology which allows visibility even in bright environments, and their a...
متن کاملAmbient Interface Design (AID) for Aging, Independence and Disability
The global proliferation of increasing longevity in modern society has fixed a focus on assisting the elderly and those living with disability through computing technology. To remain independently empowered, a seamless integration through efficient affable interfaces is required.

متن کاملChallenges to the Model-Driven Generation of User Interfaces at Runtime for Ambient Intelligent Systems
Context-awareness, personalization and adaptation are among salient features of Ambient Intelligent (AmI) Systems. The User Interfaces (UI) in AmI environments should therefore also be dynamic at runtime. Developing such UIs is challenging since many aspects have to be considered. Most existing approaches follow Model-driven Engineering (MDE) as a solution. However, they only address design tim...
متن کاملAmbient Haptic Systems
AMBIENT systems employ devices that are seamlessly integrated in a user’s environment, providing unobtrusive and interactive access to digital media. These devices, when networked in systems of sensors, actuators, and computational units, can support intelligent, adaptive machine behavior. Haptics, as a naturally interactive communication modality, has an important and indispensable role to pla...
