Ubiquitous Computing and Augmented Reality in HCI
Nancy Jasmine Goldena, Thangapriya · Auerbach Publications eBooks · 2023
Human-computer interaction (HCI) is an area of computer science that investigates how people interact with computers. Augmented reality (AR) and ubiquitous computing (UC) are two of the most fundamental and important fields of HCI. Sensors are always developing, becoming smaller, lighter, more precise, long-lasting, effective, reactive, and with enhanced communication capabilities. The best examples include smart watches, smart rings, advanced medical gadgets, and earphones. UC has evolved and has many applications, such as in healthcare, accessibility, in learning, and in logistics. AR is a system that blends the real and virtual worlds, providing real-time interaction and accurate 3D detection of virtual and real objects. AR has a bright future because of its real-time interaction with the virtual. Businesses globally have now begun developing and selling their products using augmented reality technology.
