Announcements • Class participation is very important. You will be graded on your involvement in class discussions. There are no “dumb” questions. You will only be penalized for “no” questions/comments • Late home works will not be accepted. I encourage you to start working on your home work project, right away.

Outline for today Ubiquitous Computing Vision • The Computer for the Twenty-First Century, Mark Weiser, Scientific American, pp. 94 -10, September 1991 • The Coming Age Of Calm Technology, Mark Weiser and John Seely Brown, Xerox PARC, October 5, 1996 Jan 11, 2001 CSCI {4, 6}900: Ubiquitous Computing

Introduction to Mark Weiser • Mark Weiser was a chief technologist at Xerox PARC

Introduction to Mark Weiser • Mark Weiser was a chief technologist at Xerox PARC – Palo Alto Research Center • He conceived the idea of Ubiquitous Computing in 1988 • For comparison – Gopher - 1991 – Windows 3. 1 – 1992 – Netscape 1. 0 – 1994 • He and his team built a lot of ubiquitous devices and experimented with these technologies, from ’ 88 -’ 9 x.

Virtual Reality vs Embodied Reality • Virtual Reality – – Attempts to make a world inside the computer – Users wear special goggles, gloves, body suites etc – E. g. Games, flight trainers etc • Embodied Reality – – Invisible computing – E. g. computers in light switches, thermostats, stereos, ovens etc. . – Location and scale are important in ubiquitous computing • Their approach – Make aspects of everyday life active – Network it – Build it Jan 11, 2001 CSCI {4, 6}900: Ubiquitous Computing
