Thesis Type:The thesis can be done as diploma or master's thesis. The thesis can be done as semester thesis. The DUS research group:The Distributed and Ubiquitous Systems (DUS) research group works together with well-known international partners from research and industry in the field of ubiquitous and pervasive computing systems. Ubiquitous Computing:A vision of ubiquitous computing is the invisible computer. Computer as visible elements of our environment disappear. To the human user, the environment or everyday things become the user interface. All in one computing systems are substituted by specialized, well-designed appliances. The user no longer has the feeling to interact with a computing system but with common everyday objects in his environment. Project Description:Especially young people prefer colorful, interactive, so-called "new" media to books. This development coined the term "Zweitbuch" (in English: second book). In the course of this thesis new forms of interactions with conventional books will be researched on and implemented. Examples are:
To deleop and implement this vision of new forms fo interaction, the following technologies can be used:
After the development and implementation the system will be evaluated with "real" users. To achieve this, 100 used books will be set free. They will be released at different locations in Germany (e.g. Munich, Brunswick, Bonn) using BookCrossing.com. In addition, 20 selected participants (non-natural scientists) will evaluate the system in a laboratory setting. The results of the lab and real-world study will be compared. Work Context:We offer:
