The topic of the panel is described as follows:<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">Paradigm busting interfaces are bringing new life into computing and entertainment, enabling people to interact with digital tools in more natural and intuitive ways -- with Intention and Motion as the key platforms for communication. Harnessing the explosion of the emerging digital experience that is changing our lives.</span><span style="font-style: italic;"> 3 Takeaways:</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">1. The ethnography of evolution: What's changing about people to make this possible?</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">2. How people will adapt to and adopt these new interfaces and what that means for the people creating the technologies.</span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">3. Influence of the "new" early adopters - from 20 somethings to 60 somethings; and from gamers to paraplegics.</span><br /><br />Unfortunately, people form US never look at what is going on in Europe and they missed our <a href="http://www.umove.ch">work on Kinetic User Interfaces.</a><br /><br />I believe that we truly anticipated this shift.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1068385450216433682-6947274224072778617?l=u-move.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Vic_Peacockhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12184030676513112600noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1068385450216433682.post-62001159336907515042008-05-28T18:58:00.001+02:002008-05-31T10:57:28.809+02:00<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">One typical application for the uMove framework is location-based reminders (LB-minders):<br /><br />We built a prototype called UbiShop described in this <a href="http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/freeabs_all.jsp?isnumber=4343385&amp;arnumber=4343429&amp;amp;count=61&amp;amp;index=43">paper</a> published at the IEEE NGMAST'07 conference on New Generation Mobile Applications, Systems and Technologies.<br /><br />A commercial LB-minder is <a href="http://ludimate.com/products/geominder/">Geominder</a> that does not provide any collaboration features as in UbiShop.<br /><br />UbiShop has been recently extended with a AJAX-based (Google Web ToolKit) customization interface that allows end-users to configure the application for particular zones, moving entities and activities.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_vZAe06oGXKA/SD2QK1bP6eI/AAAAAAAAAnY/RMpmRAPKN3g/s1600-h/ubibuilder.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 474px; height: 335px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_vZAe06oGXKA/SD2QK1bP6eI/AAAAAAAAAnY/RMpmRAPKN3g/s400/ubibuilder.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5205475260124621282" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br /><br /><div align="center"><img alt="" src="file:///Users/vincenzo/Documents/Documents%20Temp%20Folder/DART08/ubibuilder.jpg" height="549" width="774" /><br /></div><blockquote></blockquote></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1068385450216433682-6200115933690751504?l=u-move.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Vic_Peacockhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12184030676513112600noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1068385450216433682.post-79416547122943925622008-05-26T20:40:00.000+02:002008-05-26T20:47:19.841+02:00This is a blog related to the <a href="http://www.umove.ch/">uMove</a> research project.<br /><br />Stay tunned!<br /><br /> Vincenzo Pallotta<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1068385450216433682-7941654712294392562?l=u-move.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Vic_Peacockhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12184030676513112600noreply@blogger.com0
