2. 6. From Conceptual Links to Causal Relations — Physical-Virtual Artefacts in Mixed-Reality Space

   Author : Thomas Pederson; Lars-Erik Janlert; William Buxton; Umeå universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Människa-dator-interaktion; Human-Computer Interaction; Mixed Reality; Augmented Reality; Ubiquitous Computing; Pervasive Computing; Graspable User Interfaces; Tangible User Interfaces; Wearable Computing; Context Awareness; User Modelling; Interaction Design; Systems Design; Människa-dator-interaktion; Information technology; Informationsteknologi; business data processing; administrativ databehandling;

   Abstract : This thesis presents a set of concepts and a general design approach for designing Mixed Reality environments based on the idea that the physical (real) world and the virtual (digital) world are equally important and share many properties. Focus is on the design of a technology infrastructure intended to relieve people from some of the extra efforts currently needed when performing activities that make heavy use of both worlds.

4. 7. A Design Rationale for Pervasive Computing : User Experience, Contextual Change and Technical Requirements

   Author : Markus Bylund; Magnus Boman; Tom Rodden; KTH; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Informatics; computer and systems science; Informatik; data- och systemvetenskap; Informatics; computer and systems science; Informatik; data- och systemvetenskap;

   Abstract : The vision of pervasive computing promises a shift from information tech-nology per se to what can be accomplished by using it, thereby fundamen-tally changing the relationship between people and information technology. In order to realize this vision, a large number of issues concerning user ex-perience, contextual change, and technical requirements should be ad-dressed. READ MORE
