Ubiquitous Computing and HCI in touch

The book "Ubiquitous Computing and HCI in Touch" provides a comprehensive introduction to the concept of ubiquitous computing (ubicomp) and its close connection to human-computer interaction (HCI). It highlights how modern computing devices, which no longer resemble traditional computers, are integrated into our environment and what new interfaces are needed to facilitate interaction between humans and computers. The author, Josep Benavent Marco, presents innovative approaches to using the iStuff toolkit and the Nintendo WiiRemote (wiiMote) as new input devices. By utilizing the WiiGee Java libraries, effective communication between the devices and the software is enabled. The book also includes a collaborative application called Collaborative Tetris, which serves as a practical example of interaction in ubiquitous environments. It is aimed at readers interested in developing new human-computer scenarios in ubiquitous settings and offers valuable insights into the future of technology.
