Smart-Its
are small generic, cheap computational devices that can be used for
post-hoc computational enhancement of everyday objects. In the form
factor of a sticker, they allow objects to perceive their
environment, communicate with peers, and have customisable behaviour.
They are meant as a technical platform for easily implementing working
prototypes of ubicomp applications.
The restaurant application
part of the project consisted in
developing scenarios and a demo environment of smart objects supporting
dynamic
work flows, information display, and new interactions in a restaurant
setting. Implemented prototypes demonstrated ad-hoc networking,
distributed sensing, and collective intelligence among multiple
objects. The ability of the Smart-Its platform to convey these
principles was then evaluated when demonstrated to non-technical design
students.
