PIViTa: Taxonomy for displaying information in pervasive and collaborative environments

Abstract

In the years ahead, there are increasing demands for ubiquitous and continuous access to information and interactive devices embedded into a physical context are proliferated. Users need support for getting required information anywhere and anytime, therefore, we cannot study advances in Ambient Intelligence and Information Visualization separately, it is necessary to consider the relevant features for displaying information into intelligent environments. A taxonomical approach can make another step towards understand the design space of information visualization in intelligent environments by extracting crucial characteristics. © 2009 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
