The presentation discusses ubiquitous computing, defined as computers that are available anytime and everywhere, through embedding microprocessors in everyday objects. It outlines three eras of computing and the goal of creating smart environments via natural interfaces and ambient intelligence. The future of computing is portrayed as a rapid emergence of smaller, cheaper, and more powerful computers that will seamlessly integrate into daily life.

• 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
Mainframe Computing
Many people to one
computer
Personal Computing

One person to many computer

6. NATURAL INTERFACE
Speaking Writing Gestures

7. HUMAN – COMPUTER INTERACTION
Speech Recognition Free Form Pen Interaction
Gesture Recognition

8. CONTEXT – AWARE LEARNING
Information about the
Environment

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
