Estou preparando uma disciplina para o semestre que vem (2011.2), na UFES. Vou tratar de Design de Interação e Computação Pervasiva, assuntos que discuti na minha tese de doutorado (a ser defendida em Agosto!). Cartazete que fiz para anunciar a disciplina na UFES. Veja uma versão do cartaz evidenciando o seu grid, no meu Flickr. […]

This paper discusses a specific category of information systems known as Ambient Information Systems. These systems present information in a non-intrusive manner, acting mostly on the periphery of our attention, following Mark Weiser’s concept of calm technology.
The major concern that drives the development of these systems can be summarized in two aspects: first, as pervasive computing increases, ordinary objects are becoming capable of processing and displaying data, thus the consumption of information will occur in many different contexts, which may contribute to an information overload, generating stress. The second aspect is that Design plays a major role in developing better ways to deal with this information overload. For a long time designers have been studying how to design communication systems that drive our attention, but little research has been done in exploring how to design communication systems that act upon the periphery of our attention.
In this paper four Ambient Information Systems are discussed, highlighting their characteristics and limitations. As a conclusion, the author proposes an agenda of topics that should be tackled to advance future research on this subject.

Browsing around, I just found this presentation from Abigail Sellen, principal researcher at Microsoft Research Cambridge. She is also co-manager of the Socio-digital Systems Group. I get to know her work after reading the MS Being Human Report, and I had the fortune to meet her at MS Research, in 2008, while I was traveling […]

I’ve just finished the online version of the paper I’ve presented at the 4th Information Design International Conference. The article is about Ambient Information Systems, a specific type of information systems. It is part of the research I’ve been doing during my PhD. You can read and/or download it here. I also uploaded the presentation […]

Neste artigo discute-se uma categoria particular de sistemas de informação, a saber, sistemas de informação ambiente (ambient information systems). Estes sistemas apresentam informações de maneira não intrusiva, privilegiando a periferia de nossa percepção, valendo-se dos princípios da tecnologia sem estresse (calm technology). São descritos projetos dessa natureza, evidenciando suas características e limitações. Ao final do artigo são propostas algumas questões e possíveis desdobramentos. O artigo é fruto de uma pesquisa exploratória desenvolvida pelo autor, como parte de sua tese de doutorado em andamento, cujo tema trata do design de interação em contextos de pervasividade computacional.

An interesting application for augmented reality. This is not exactly my research field, but is interesting to see that is becoming more popular. But somehow it seems to me that is one of those cases of “a solution looking for a problem”. Anyway, it is a fine example of an application for this technology, although […]
