Abstract In this paper, we describe Kimura, an augmented office environment to support common multitasking practices. Previous systems, such as Rooms, limit users by constraining the interaction to the desktop monitor. In Kimura, we leverage interactive projected peripheral displays to support the perusal, manipulation and awareness of background activities. Furthermore, each activity is represented by …

Hypermedia in the Kimura System: Using Spatial, Temporal, and Navigational Relationships to Support Multitasking and Background Awareness
Abstract The goal of the Kimura system is to augment traditional office computing environments in order to explore and evaluate the addition of visual peripheral displays to human-computer interfaces within an office environment. To do this, we employ multiple peripheral displays to display spatial, temporal, and navigational hypermedia relationships between users’ documents and context through …

Automatic partitioning for prototyping ubiquitous computing applications
Abstract One of the main challenges facing ubiquitous computing research and development is the difficulty of writing software for complex, heterogeneous distributed applications. In this paper, we evaluate automatic application partitioning as an approach to rapid prototyping of ubiquitous computing systems. Our approach allows developers to largely ignore distribution issues when developing their applications, by …
