虽然已经提出了用于在普适计算环境中处理信息的各种交互技术，但一些技术对于执行丰富的交互过于简单，而另一些技术需要到处安装特殊昂贵的设备，并且不能很快在我们的日常环境中使用。我们提出了一种新的简单而通用的输入设备，称为Mousefield，它使用户能够轻松地控制各种信息设备，而不需要花费巨额成本。Mousefield由身份识别器和运动传感器组成，可以检测对象及其放置在上面后的运动。系统可以将用户的操作解释为控制信息流的命令。在本文中，我们展示了如何在客厅、厨房和厕所等普通环境中轻松使用这种简单的设备来处理信息，并展示了在无处不在的计算环境中使用它的好处。
Although various interaction technologies for handling information in the ubiquitous computing environment have been proposed, some techniques are too simple for performing rich interaction, and others require special expensive equipments to be installed everywhere, and cannot soon be available in our everyday environment. We propose a new simple and versatile input device called the MouseField that enables users to control various information appliances easily without huge amount of cost.A MouseField consists of an ID recognizer and motion sensors that can detect an object and its movement after the object is placed on it. The system can interpret the user’s action as a command to control the flow of information. In this paper, we show how this simple device can be used for handling information easily in ordinary environments like living rooms, kitchens, and toilets, and show the benefits of using it in the ubiquitous computing environment.
