the bathroom mirror?
2. What will be the features of the appliances
in the kitchen and bedroom?

 HAPTICS TECHNOLOGY

HAPTICS
 it is the science of applying touch (tactile)
sensation and control to interaction with
computer applications
 HAPTICS TECHNOLOGY
• It is a feedback technology (using
computer applications) that takes
advantage of the user’s sense of touch by
applying force, vibrations and/or motions
to the user
Examples: • Smartphones • Tablets
 CONTEXTUAL AWARENESS
• by combining ‘hard sensor’ information such
as where you are and the conditions around
you, combined with ‘soft sensors’ such as your
calendar, your social network and past
preferences - future devices will constantly
learn about who you are and how you live,
work and play.
EXAMPLES
• Imagine your PC advising you to leave home
15 minutes early or take a different route to
avoid a traffic jam on your way to work.
• Consider a “context aware” remote control that
instantly determines who is holding it and
automatically selects the Smart TV preferences
for that person
VOICE AND TONE RECOGNITION
• Not only can voice and tone recognition be
used to confirm a person’s identity but tone
recognition can be used to detect a person’s
health or emotional state.
 Intelligent Routing Devices
• This future technology will be useful to, for
example, local councils. While on the move,
staff will be able to provide the precise
description and location of a street-based issue
using Smartphones
Artificial Intelligence
• the power of a machine to copy intelligent human
behavior
Eye Tracking Technology -
• measures eye positions and movements which
are analyzed through computer applications
• Eye Tracking Technology Could have many possible
application including:
- Law enforcement (lie detection)
- Airport Security
- Retail
- Safety
- Health Care
Internet Glasses -
• Technology that can display images
directly onto our retinas while not
blocking our sight is being developed.
• This technology can be used in eyeglasses
and have uses ranging from e-Gaming to
military defense
Wearable Technology
• These are smart electronic devices
(electronic device with microcontrollers)
that can be worn on the body as implant
or accessories

 The main characteristics of ubiquitous learning are: (Chen et al., 2002; Curtis et al.,
2002)

Permanency: Learning materials are

always available unless purposely
deleted.

Accessibility: Access from everywhere

as personally required
 Immediacy: Wherever a student
is, he/she can immediately
access learning materials.
 Interactivity: Online
collaboration with teachers
and/or peers (chat/blogs/forums)
