Designing Interactive Experiences in the Interplay between Ambient Intelligence and Mixed Reality
Radu-Daniel Vatavu · CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems Extended Abstracts · 2022
Our physical environments integrate more and more sensing, processing, and communications technology toward the realization of the vision of Ambient Intelligence (AmI). At the same time, virtual worlds are increasingly more linked to physical spaces by means of applications delivering the vision of Augmented and Mixed Reality (AR/MR). In this context, several opportunities emerge at the intersection of these two visions of computing. The goal of this course is to achieve the realization that AmI and MR are two sides of the same coin in order to deliver a fresh perspective to HCI researchers and practitioners interested in designing interactive experiences beyond the desktop and mobile computing paradigms by employing the concepts, principles, and methods of AmI and MR.
