Ubicomp and LBS stuff
Lots of interesting things in the general area of ubiquitous-computing / location-based services piling up in my link backlog so i figured i could post them before they become stale:
- All watched over by machines of loving grace - Adam Greenfield for boxes and arrows writes about challenges and guidelines for user experience designers involved in ubiquitous-computing. He also summarized his keypoints on his weblog.
- Privacy Notes: Geofencing and Guidelines for LBS Developers - guidelines for designers and developers of location-based services with a strong focus on privacy issues. (via mobile technology weblog)
- virtual journal club: “Connected Mobile Devices UI” - “Every Friday I pick a paper from the ACM Digital Library that is found by the search term “UI connected mobile devices”, and write a brief discussion of it. Why? Because it makes me actually read them.” (via Tom Hume)
- Smart fabrics make for enhanced living - new scientist writes about the previously mentioned byob project which still amazes me.
- Liminal Devices Group - some interesting projects there.
- Look at your walls - (inter)active walls & wallpapers.
- Location-based mobile phone games - Paul Baron has updated and reorganized his list of location-based games.
