“…Considering the special case of mobile language learning, Kukulska-Hulme (2009) points out that the focus of attention is actually on the pedagogical interactions M A N U S C R I P T A C C E P T E D ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 4 and less on the nature of the technology being mobile or fixed. Taking learning outdoor benefits learning, as it facilitates an active interaction process between the learners and their environment (Fahraeus, 2004;Wilde, Harris, Rogers, & Randell, 2003).…”

“…7 For example, in the case of the periscope, a device that allows children to explore the Ambient Wood [119], Petri dishes containing a variety of micro-organisms were tagged. Moving a dish close to the periscope would trigger the display of information related to the specific species and its habitat.…”

rfid has already found its way into a variety of large scale applications and arguably it is already one of the most successful technologies in the history of computing. Beyond doubt, rfid is an effective automatic identification technology for a variety of objects including natural, manufactured and handmade artifacts; humans and other species; locations; and increasingly media content and mobile services. In this survey we consider developments towards establishing rfid as the cost-effective technical solution for the development of open, shared, universal pervasive computing infrastructures and look ahead to its future. In particular, we discuss the ingredients of current large scale applications; the role of network services to provide complete systems; privacy and security implications; and how rfid is helping prototype emerging pervasive computing applications. We conclude by identifying common trends in the new applications of rfid and ask questions related to sustainable universal deployment of this technology.

“…There is a growing interest in how to support and encourage social interaction between collocated people and how the physical surroundings e.g. (Wilde 2003) can be exploited in this regard. However, little work addresses how ubiquitous computing environments will go beyond spatially arranged devices as in e.g.…”

In this paper we describe the development, experiments and evaluation of the iFloor, an interactive floor prototype installed at the local central municipality library. The primary purpose of the iFloor prototype is to support and stimulate community interaction between collocated people. The context of the library demands that any user can walk up and use the prototype without any devices or prior introduction. To achieve this, the iFloor proposes innovative interaction (modes/paradigms/patterns) for floor surfaces through the means of video tracking. Browsing and selecting content is done in a collaborative process and mobile phones are used for posting messages onto the floor. The iFloor highlights topics on social issues of ubiquitous computing environments in public spaces, and provides an example of how to exploit human spatial movements, positions and arrangements in interaction with computers. KeywordsInteractive floor, library, ubiquitous computing environments, spaces as interface, social computing, interaction design, designing for community interaction, video tracking.
