Ubiquitous Computing is a technology that interlinks physical and digital world together. It aims to do so by embedding microprocessors in devices of various forms including laptops, tablets and in everyday objects such as fridge, tables, pair of glasses, etc. The basic idea behind Ubiquitous Computing is to embed chips in almost any devices, from clothing to tools to appliances to cars to homes to kitchens to the human body to connect it to an infinite network of other devices. This slide deals with ubiquitous computing, the eras of computing, generic features of ubiquitous computing like natural interfaces, context-aware learning and automated capture and access to live experiences, related areas of ubiquitous computing like ambient intelligence, augmented reality, wearable computing, how it has changed the way humans interact with the computers and the future of computing.

3. UBIQUITOUS ?
• Present, appearing or found everywhere.

4. UBIQUITOUS COMPUTING
• Computers available anytime
everywhere.
• Embedding MICROPROCESSORS in
everyday objects.
• Pervasive Computing.
• GOAL – smart, intelligent
environment.
• VISION – small, inexpensive and

5. THREE ERAS OF COMPUTING

10. AUGMENTED REALITY
• Digital information + Natural
Environment + Real Time.
• Idea: Mask audio, graphics
and other sensory
augmentations over real-
world environment in real
time.
• Interactive Real World and
Digitally Manipulative.

11. AMBIENT INTELLIGENCE
• Human Beings + Digital
Information Technology +
Ubiquitous Devices.
• Presence of Intelligence.
• Based on Sensing, Reason and
Acting.

12. WEARABLE COMPUTING

13. FUTURE OF COMPUTING
• Vision of Ubiquitous Computing
emerging rapidly.
• Smaller, cheaper, powerful computers.
• Everyday objects become “smart” and
network themselves .
• Invisible or Disappearing Computing.

14. “The most profound technologies are
those that disappear. They weave
themselves into the fabric of everyday
life until they are indistinguishable from
it.”
- Mark Weiser, father of Ubiquitous
Computing
