Paper in IEEE Personal Communications (2000) on “Ubiquitous sensing for smart and aware environments”
Abstract As computing technology continues to become increasingly pervasive and ubiquitous, we envision the development of environments that can sense what we are doing and support our daily activities. In this article, we outline our efforts toward building such environments and discuss the importance of a sensing and signal-understanding infrastructure that leads to awareness of […]
Paper: ACM SIGGRAPH (2000) "Video textures"
Paper [bibtex file=IrfanEssaWS.bib key=2000-Schodl-VT] Abstract This paper introduces a new type of medium, called a video texture, which has qualities somewhere between those of a photograph and a video. A video texture provides a continuous infinitely varying stream of images. While the individual frames of a video texture may be repeated from time to time, […]

Project: The Aware Home
The Aware Home Is it possible to create a home environment that is aware of its occupants whereabouts and activities? If we build such a home, how can it provide services to its residents that enhance their quality of life or help them to maintain independence as they age? The Aware Home Research Initiative (AHRI) […]
