Situated Mobility

Using situated displays to support mobile activities

  • Chapter
Public and Situated Displays

Abstract

The Personal Server and Internet Suspend/Resume are two technologies that support situated mobility — i.e., using situated displays in support of mobile computing. By leveraging advances in high density storage and virtual machines, these systems endeavor to enhance a user’s mobility without requiring them to either rely on small-screen displays or impoverished computing platforms. These two emerging proactive computing paradigms lead towards a more complete vision of mobile computing, bridging the gap between the situated and mobile worlds.
