Computing is ubiquitous and if you think otherwise, that in
itself might be the best evidence that it is so. Computers are
omnipresent in modern life and the multimedia computing environment
of today is becoming more and more seamless.
Bringing together contributions from dozens of leading experts,
Ubiquitous Multimedia Computing educates readers on Ubi-Media
Computing on three levels: infrastructures, where fundamental
technologies are being developed; middleware, where the integration
of technologies and software systems continues to be defined; and
applications, where its concepts are evolving into real-world
products and processes. In presenting a wealth of new directions
and new technology that is changing the way we communicate, learn,
play, and live day by day, this book
- Examines various architectures for delivering multimedia
content including streaming devices, wireless networks, and various
hybrids
- Looks at rapidly developing sensor technology including
wearable computers
- Demonstrates the use of advanced HCI devices that allow the
simplest body gestures to govern increasingly complex tasks
- Introduces newsputers that take the use of embedded image
information in a host of practical directions
- Looks at how ubiquitous computing can eliminate traffic
congestion and improve the efficiency and quality of medical
care
- Looks at how computing is personalizing learning environments
and revolutionizing our approach to the three R s.
While these pages serve as a timely reference for researchers
working in all areas of product development and human computer
interaction, they also provide engineers, doctors, and many other
professionals, as well as educators and graduate students with a
view that reveals the otherwise invisible seams of this age of
ubi-media computing.
