With contributions from leading experts, this volume delves into ubi-media computing on three levels: infrastructures, where fundamental technologies are being developed; middleware, where the integration of technologies and software systems continues to be defined; and applications, where its concepts are evolving into real-world products and processes. It discusses how seamless technologies are changing the way we communicate, learn, and live. It covers new architectures for delivering content, advanced HCI devices that allow simple body gestures to govern complex tasks, and a host of other emerging technologies.
