Foreseeing*and designing an application to tailor itself to all of these uses, and*thousands of others, is daunting. You could speak with only a projector; both*you and your audience would only see your slides. But what if you connected a*phone, and it displayed a list of slides, a timer, and your speaker notes. If*you added a smart watch, the display on your wrist could show you not only the*current time, but also the timer and the progression of your talk. Putting on a*head-mounted display, such as Google Glass would move your speaker notes,*providing a private teleprompter. What if you would like your hands free? Put*the phone away and the display of available slides resizes itself and appears*on your Glass. You could advance the slides by pressing a button on the watch,*by speaking a command, or by tapping the side of your Glass. Each of these*configurations is appropriate for a different type of talk. My work focuses on*how the user can tailor an application's behavior simply by adding the right*devices, and enabling the software to reshape and optimize its user experience*to the new topology. *** ***Critical to*achieving this future is meeting the challenge to enable software to grow and*shrink to take advantage of all available hardware, without the need for*developers to foresee all hardware combinations in advance. Research in*ubiquitous computing thus far has focused on enabling transitions between*devices, such reading a webpage or book on one device, and then moving it to*another to pick-up at the same point. This just begins to scratch the surface*of what is possible. *******We are developing universal interaction methods to maximize the utility of*multiple devices. Further, we are building tools to allow developers to define*their applications in a way that enables portions of the UI to be automatically*and intelligently allocated to any attached device capable of displaying UI,*based on the match between software needs and hardware capabilities. Our work*in this area is now expanding to enable the annexation of nearby headless*computing devices, such as mobile sensors, building tools to give developers*increasing levels of control. *
