Mobile interactions with public displays are often indirect and not very convenient for multiple users at the same time. In this paper we use the physical, touch-based interaction with Near Field Communication (NFC) to investigate direct mobile interactions with public displays for multiple users. For that purpose, we adopt the Whack-a-Mole game for dynamic NFC-displays, which combine the physical...
The rapid development of wireless communication and sensor technologies have enhanced the learning performance. Therefore, the web-based learning has been evolved into mobile learning and even ubiquitous learning in recent years. Ubiquitous learning facilitates interactive and context aware services and provide an intelligent learning environment to enable people to learn using any device at any place,...
In this publication several near field communication (NFC) based sensor demonstrations and related measurements are discussed. These include basic temperature sensor applications and some more complex scenarios with external sensors and actuators. The reader device can be a commercial NFC enabled mobile phone or specially developed hardware. Based on the experience gathered with demonstrations and...
Anti-counterfeiting is a global problem. Brand owners suffer from huge losses due to counterfeits every year, and turn to advanced solutions to gain back control over their brands. An anti-counterfeiting system normally encodes a digital identifier in a physical identifier in essence. The physical identifier then is attached with the product. If the physical identifier is cloneable or reusable, the...
The deployment of mobile and ubiquitous computing in smart objects introduces the concept of an Internet of things which will offer new scenarios for learning processes. This paper presents this concept in relation with some other new alternatives of spaces for learning. A basic architecture for interaction is proposed and a set of prototypes that we have developed are also explained as part of an...
The key issue in achieving a pedestrian navigation service is to grasp the spatial context of pedestrians, which is mainly characterized by the places of their interest. We have developed a pedestrian navigation system uNavi, based on our proposed infrastructure that is capable of associating information services to the places of human interest. This paper focuses on the implementation and deployment...
A location and tracking system becomes very important to our future world of pervasive computing, where information is all around us. Location is one of the most needed information for emerging and future applications. Since the public use of GPS satellite is allowed, several state-of-the-art devices become part of our life, e.g. a car navigator and a mobile phone with a built-in GPS receiver. However,...
