The Disappearing Computer in CAM
The March 2005 issue of Communications of the ACMis dedicated to ubiquitous computing and location systems.
"Guest editors Norbert Streitz and Paddy Nixon (chair and co-chair, respectively, of The Disappearing Computer initiative) have orchestrated authors and projects from around the globe to present a variety of perspectives, reflections, and visions for building technologies that serve people in an unobtrusive way. They explain the goal of this section—and these ongoing programs—is to explore how daily life can be supported and enhanced through the use of interacting artifacts that form environments in which the computer as we have come to know it has no role. Or, as Weiser envisioned almost 15 years ago: "Machines that fit the human environment, instead of forcing humans to enter theirs." "
Accessing the full text online requires some registration, although there is a student option. I'm sure the libraries carry CAM.
