Ambiguity as a resource for design (2003, methodology): “LiveWire [18] used a spinning cable to indicate ethernet traffic, while Ishii [5] used pinwheels to indicate network load.”
A taxonomy of ambient information systems: four patterns of design (2006, methodology): “…idea of a calmer and more environmentally integrated way of displaying information has held intuitive appeal Weiser called this “calm computing” [35] and described the area through an elegant example: a small, tangible representation of information in the world, a dangling string that would…”
Unremarkable computing (2002, background): “…Computing program requires a different understanding (though one which may not have been helped by early examples, such as “The Dangling String” [17] which can be read as concerning perceptual psychology of “peripheral sensory processing” [17], rather than issues of a resources in action).”
A taxonomy for and analysis of tangible interfaces (2004, unknown): “Systems such as Wellner et al.’s ‘‘live wire’’ [70], or Mankoﬀ et al.’s [37] bus mobile, are in this category.”
Fundamentals of physiological computing (2009, background): “…such as adjusting an aspect of the visual display or may be completely undetectable (e.g., updating software without any feedback to the user): this category of implicit adaptation is characteristic of so-called 'calm' technology (Weiser and Brown, 1997) and ambient intelligence (Aarts, 2004).”
Embedded Data Representations (2017, methodology): “Researchers in related areas such as ubiquitous computing (UbiComp) [48] and ambient/ peripheral displays [53, 40] have created a variety of physical information displays.”
Interactive public ambient displays: transitioning from implicit to explicit, public to personal, interaction with multiple users (2004, background): “As the vision of ubiquitous computing [27-29] edges towards reality, an increasing flow of information will likely be available anytime and anywhere.”
Why and why not explanations improve the intelligibility of context-aware intelligent systems (2009, methodology): “5 DecisionTree algorithm [27], our system learns the inequality rules from the complete dataset of inputs (250 instances from the permutations of all inputs) and outputs and models a decision tree (see Figure 3) that is used to determine the”
