Abstract

Intelligent Environments have the vision of enhancing our everyday environment and interaction with its objects by sensing, computing, and communication capabilities. The major characteristics of such environments are the increasing number of embedded intelligent devices (ubiquity) into the background (transparency). These devices are expected to disappear or blend into the background and will be invisible to the user. However, because of this transparency, users fail to develop an adequate mental model for interaction with such environments. The Ubiquitous Meta User Interfaces (Ubi-MUI) ACM workshop provides a venue for the development of highly intuitive, multimedia supported meta user interfaces that bring transparency, predictability, and control into intelligent environments.
