When the supplied links substitute for, or weaken, our own activity -- as they will when we believe the links themselves can do the work of supplying context -- then we lose context instead of gaining it.

We believe that dramatic breakthroughs can be gained through more holistic systems that consider the contexts and communities in which content is created and consumed.

Developing content analysis algorithms and systems to generate meta-data locally on mobile/ubicomp platforms.

We specialize in Semantic Web, Internet, geospatial and sensor technologies. For example, our unique knowledgeSmarts™ technology is unparalleled as a geospatial-temporal-semantic reasoning platform.

Presentation from Dave Raggett of the W3C on the ubiquitous web, speech interfaces, web presentations, and web meetings.

GeoVector launches on KDDI in Japan.

GeoVector patented search technologies and methods let you click on the real world, giving applications and information services a natural interface even more powerful than voice.

The IDG-1000 opens the door to new levels of motion sensing features for a wide range of consumer applications requiring small size, low cost and high performance.

One of Paul Dourish's students at UC Irvine. Research focuses on ambient displays.

Our goal is to combine the physical annotation technology of semacode with the availability of high quality information using the free encyclopedia Wikipedia.

MYSQ (My Style So Qute) is an interactive "video booth" for shooting 30-second movies that can be viewed on mobile phones.

Research interests are in image coding, image processing, image representation, video indexing, multimedia applications for wearable and ubiquitous enviroment, capturing and processing of person's experiances, multimedia processing for WWW, and computatio

I see only functional, structural, behavioural and developmental models. People... are reduced to something programmable. And I think this has something to do with why computing technologies ultimately lack the pervasiveness of other technologies.

Although the title of this book may seem a bit abstract, here is a work that can be appreciated by most anyone, from the most techno savvy industry guru to the mildly technology curious among us...

This paper describes a study that tested how and when people chose to reveal their location information using a mobile phone.

The T-Engine is an open platform for the development of real-time and embedded systems. It comprises a hardware and software platform, standardized by the T-Engine Forum in Japan.

Fuck the Mac mini.

AURA is designed to provide the ability to access and author annotations on objects and places using machine readable tags. In our system, a user can associate text, threaded conversations, audio, images, video or other data with specific tags.

Total Immersion is a leading software and services company specialized in real time video and 3D images integration.

This toolkit enables almost anyone to author location-sensitive, media-oriented, mobile applications called mediascapes and to try out their creations on a handheld device with an attached GPS unit.

Rob Tow thought of an interesting idea a few years back, similar to Steve Mann's notion of sousveillance: a wearable video camera that sends images via high-speed connection to an "escrow server." Tow calls the device a Fair Witness.

Some ethical guidelines for user experience in ubiquitous-computing settings.

2D color barcodes for linking the physical and online worlds.

Today, it is very difficult to transport a working environment between two computers, for example, between a laptop and a desktop, or between home and work computers. Why can't we just say "move this (part of the) environment to that computer"?

The Future Computing Environments (FCE) Group is interested in the investigation, prototyping, and construction of computing environments now that we believe will be commonplace in 10-15 years.
