– When we think in smart things,

devices should be:

• aware of user presence

• sensitive, adaptive and responsive to users

capabilities, needs, habits and emotions

• accessible via intuitive interaction

ubiquitous devices


• Multimodal Systems

– Sensors

• visual, auditory, olfactory, gustatory, somatic stimuli, kinesthetic and vestibular cues

Epilogue“O saber deve ser como um rio, cujas águas doces,

grossas, copiosas, transbordem do indivíduo, e seespraiem, estancando a sede dos outros... Sem umfim social, o saber será a maior das futilidades ”

El saber debe ser como un río que mata la sede de los otros..

Sin una finalidad social, el conocimiento será la más importante de las futilidades.

conclusion

Knowledge should be like a river that helps starving people.. Without a social aim, knowledge will be the most important futility.
