Pervasive Interaction
April–June 2012
The coming era will offer a hardware-agnostic ecology in which information flows to and from any nearby device in the most appropriate fashion. However, the current proliferation of devices has resulted in a world that's increasingly fragmented and rife with connection- and configuration-oriented difficulties. Dynamic environments will need dynamic interfaces. The articles in this special issue explore this point from several different perspectives. Read full article »

Facial Expression Analysis for Predicting Unsafe Driving Behavior
A system for tracking driver facial features aims to enhance the predictive accuracy of driver-assistance systems. The authors identify key facial features at varying pre-accident intervals and use them to predict minor and major accidents. Read full article »
Gesture Search: Random Access to Smartphone Content
Gesture Search offers users an alternative to existing WYSIWYG, GUI-oriented interaction with smartphones. It supports random access of a phone's content and functionality using gesture shortcuts, so users no longer need to manually search and navigate through the interface hierarchy. Read full article »
Disaggregated End-Use Energy Sensing for the Smart Grid
This survey of disaggregation techniques for energy-consumption data highlights signal features that might be used to sense disaggregated data in an easily installed and cost-effective manner. Read full article »
Pervasive Tabs, Pads, and Boards: Are We There Yet?
How far have we come with since Mark Weiser expressed the vision of pervasive computing 20 years ago? The authors evaluate the success of tabs, pads, and boards and discusses their real-world use. Read full article »
