Flow-driven ambient guidance

Effectively guiding people in complex and highly dynamic work environment requires advances in high-level declarative activity models that can describe the flow of human work activities and their intended outcomes, as well as novel user interface models for distributing guidance information across time and space. This paper describes a new line of research aimed at developing a new programming and human interface approach for pervasive systems based on high-level models of human activities, so-called situated flows, and mobile projector interfaces for uncovering task information embedded in physical environments

Dynamic Interaction Plugins Deployment in Ambient Spaces

Part 1: Research PapersInternational audienceA large-scale dynamic runtime deployment of existing and future interaction techniques remains an enduring challenge for engineering real-world pervasive computing ecosystems (ambient spaces). The need for innovative engineering solutions to tackle this issue increases, due to the ever expanding landscape of novel natural interaction techniques proposed every year to enrich interactive eco-systems with multitouch gestures, motion gestures, full body in motion, etc. In this paper, we discuss the implementation of Interaction Plugins as a possible solution to address this challenge. The discussed approach enables interaction techniques to be constructed as standalone dynamically deployable objects in ambient spaces during runtime
