Yesterday, the Summer School on Context Awareness took place here in Culture Lab. Sponsored by the EU, Matthias Kranz had come over and delivered a set of lectures covering a broad range of topics in this area, including the history of ubiquitous computing, basic concepts, design principles and location sensing. We had a good turnout of students with a quite diverse background (from Computer Science to Digital Media and Education), and they produced some really interesting ideas during the final workshop session. We also had some good discussions about the implications of the increasing proliferation of ubiquitous computing and in which cases using this technology would subvert the original purpose of an activity or an object.
