Interaction with large displays

Ubiquitous computing environments include devices ranging from small handheld PDAs to full interactive walls. One aspect of our research is in finding better ways to interact directly with large displays, rather than indirectly through a traditional keyboard/mouse interface.

Moving information and control

In a ubiquitous computing environment such as the interactive room, users will work flexibly with information and services that are independent of any one device or device type. Several projects are exploring better ways to move information and interfaces across devices in an integrated interaction space.

Beyond the desktop

We are exploring a wide variety of interfaces that use devices other than traditional desktop/laptop machines, for information seeking, communication, and new kinds of applications. Computers as monolithic, very visible, central, and often private entities should be replaced by many wirelessly connected parts, mixing small public and private artifacts dynamically. Devices should melt into the periphery of the rooms, walls, furniture, clothes, etc. Computing and communication devices should ideally come into focus only when needed.
