Abstract

In recent years, the research in the area of Ubiquitous Computing has intensified, with many technological advances occurring, but the current scenario is still far away from an everyday life fulfilled with seamless ubiquitous systems. Within this context, a proposal of an infrastructure is studied and presented. It is based on a set of guiding principles and a generic architecture, having a well focused application goal inside the area. It is directed at supporting the implementation of systems that augments physical objects present in a daily life environment. Initially, the augmentation is made with the main target of presenting additional personalized information, although it can support other services. Developed prototypes allowed testing the integration of mature and recognized technologies, also serving as proof of the infrastructure's viability.
