Ambient intelligence (AI) refers to a developing technology that will increasingly make our everyday environment sensitive and responsive to our presence. The AI vision requires technology invisibly embedded in our everyday surroundings, present whenever we need it that will lead to the seamless integration of lighting, sounds, vision, domestic appliances, and personal healthcare products to enhance our living experience. Written for the non-specialist seeking an authoritative but accessible overview of this interdisciplinary field, True Visions explains how the devices making up the AI world will operate collectively using information and intelligence hidden in the wireless network connecting them. Expert contributions address key AI components such as smart materials and textiles, system architecture, mobile computing, broadband communication, and underlying issues of human-environment interactions. It seeks to unify the perspectives of scientists from diverse backgrounds ranging from the physics of materials to the aesthetics of industrial design as it describes the emergence of ambient intelligence, one of today’s most compelling areas of innovation.

The role of haptics as a non-intrusive communication modality is a relatively rich yet unexplored research area. However, the advent of sophisticated haptic interfaces and tangible interfaces makes it possible to employ haptics in facilitating ubiquitous and veridical interactions between man and machine. This facet of the haptic user interfaces uniquely suits ambient media systems that allow levels of ease and access previously never achieved by user interfaces. This workshop will explore the design, development and evaluation of haptic user interfaces for ambient media systems.
