University of Sydney - School of Information Technologies - Computer Human Adapted Interaction (CHAI)
Pervasive computing has the potential to improve our lives in many ways. It can support augmented cognition and life-long memories: providing people with ready access to pertinent information about themselves from their own data stores will enable them to expand their effective cognition and knowledge beyond what they would otherwise remember. Life-long learning is another potential benefit, with the possibility that we can learn precisely when and where we need to, with learning resources delivered just for us, taking account of our existing knowledge and preferred ways of learning. To achieve such benefits, we need to ensure users can control their personal data and its use and we need to be able make that information available when and where people need it.
CHAI is exploring personalisation that enables the user to scrutinise and control the whole personalisation process. Another dimension of CHAI research is in novel pervasive computing interfaces such as tabletop interaction and pervasive appliances that are embedded in the environment to serve very specific functions.
