"User interaction in a context-aware environment"

By Miss Dan Hong


Abstract:

With the invention of new interaction devices, user interaction has moved
beyond the desktop and become a trend of ongoing developing. The context
on where the device is being used has joined as an integral part of the
input during an interaction. The inclusion of context provides convenience
and efficiency to users during the new interaction. The traditional
human-computer interface (HCI) theories are not totally suitable for
context-aware interactions. The development of context-aware applications
requires new paradigms. In this survey, we review the past research and
summarize the results on design, prototyping and evaluation techniques for
context-aware applications. We also identify some challenges and propose
future work in this paper.
