Finally different kind of slates and tablets are here and anyone can afford such devices. But those who already two or three years ago purchased their first slates are looking forward to take next step. What might that be?
Over the past 30 years we've been looking at screens at home and work. Besides, now we are even able to have them (ie phones with touch screens) with us all the time. Isn't it nice? What else can you imagine?
Google has a project called Interactive Spaces going on. In short, when entering a room computers are hidden and interact with you as you move in the room. This is what Ubique (lat. everywhere) is all about.
But wait! I do want to keep my phone and touch it's screen while sitting in the bus etc. Of course. No problem. Just make sure you download apps which then interact with different spaces you enter. Let's say want to see some furniture at Ikea. Phones are helping Ikea to recognize you and the rest is up to Ikea to decide how ubique their premises can be.
At home I sometimes feel tired and don't need or want that much light. What if my very own ubique computer thinks different and turns on lights? That's called the Big Brother.
