    UniCast, OutCast and GroupCast: Three Steps Toward Ubiquitous Peripheral Displays (UbiComp2001) - Presentation Transcript

    1. Joe McCarthy, Tony Costa, Edy Liongosari UniCast, OutCast, GroupCast: Three Steps Toward Ubiquitous Peripheral Displays
    2. Motivation(s)
      • We often talk/hear about a world filled with displays
        • “ Walls in our offices & homes will be reactive displays”
          • Andries Van Dam, CACM, March 2001 (The Next 1000 Years) “User Interfaces: Disappearing, Dissolving, and Evolving”
        • Everywhere Displays
          • Claudio Pinhanez, UbiComp 2001
      • What will such a world be like?
        • What kind of content would be put on such displays?
        • How will the content be affected by (react to) context?
      • UniCast, GroupCast & OutCast
        • Three steps toward ubiquitous peripheral displays
          • All UbiComp applications are approximations…

      • Artwork: 1000 images, organized into 10 categories
      • Pictures: Digital images uploaded to a shared directory

        • Any number of instances of the same type
      • Semi-random content selection
        • 5 priority levels
      • User interaction
        • Pause, back, resume
          • Varying “peripheralness”

      • A system for the public display of content that is of mutual interest to passersby
        • Provide opportunities for conversation
          • Especially for conversationally-challenged (nerds)
        • Increase sense of “community”
          • Location matters -- what can we do for physically collocated workers?
            • Faceless names, nameless faces
          • Dynamic, project-oriented teams
        • Lay the groundwork for collaboration
          • More likely to collaborate with people I know
    18. GroupCast Components
      • Awareness system (IR badges & sensors)
      • Profile of inhabitant interests (UniCast)
      • Group Preference Arbitration algorithm
      • Input / Output (sense / respond)
    19. Status
      • UniCast
        • ~10 installations (users)
          • Demand > supply
          • Variety of hardware configurations
      • OutCast
        • 1 installation
          • Recently integrated with UniCast/GroupCast
      • GroupCast
        • 2 installations
          • Arbitration: cycle through profiles of “locals”
