Services monitoring freight vehicle on route have been responding an increasing number of demands of goods owners. This chapter proposes a visualization-based tracking system using mobile device to enable users to keep track of the status of their freights ubiquitously in real time by viewing comprehensive graphs on mobile devices. The system comprises a moving device implemented on vehicle, a ...

E-tree is an in-home Energy Consumption Display (ECD), which the user can use as both stationary and portable device. We explored E-tree to help the user understand their energy consumption at the home. Project phase two included three goals. First, we implemented a wireless measurement device, which uses an Infrastructure Mediated Sensing (IMS) system attached to the home power breaker. E-tree...

Public electronic displays can be used as an advertising medium when space is a scarce resource, and it is desirable to expose many advertisements to as wide an audience as possible. Although the efficiency of such advertising systems can be improved if the display is aware of the identity and interests of the audience, this knowledge is difficult to acquire when users are not actively interact...

Autostereoscopic displays provide 3D perception without the need for special glasses or other head gear. Three basic technologies exist to make such displays: spatial multiplex, multi-projector and time-sequential. These can be used to make two types of useful device: two-view, head-tracked displays; and multi-view displays. The former tend to be single-viewer systems while the latter can suppo...

A method is proposed to facilitate visually-driven interactions between two devices, which we call the client, such as a mobile phone or personal digital assistant (PDA), which must be equipped with a camera, and the server, such as a personal computer (PC) or intelligent display. The technique that we describe here requires a camera on the client to view the display on the server, such that ei...
