Ambient Intelligence (AmI) is a paradigm emerging from Artificial
Intelligence (AI), where computers are used as proactive tools assisting
people with their day-to-day activities, making everyone’s life more
comfortable.
These environments should be aware of the needs of people, customizing
requirements and forecasting behaviours.

Raskin: Zoombares User Interface für den Mac
Martin Halter, Raskin
Thursday, February 24th 2011, 18.30 h – 20.00 h
Venue: ETH-Zentrum, Tannenstrasse 3, CH-8092 Zurich
Room: CLA E4
Floor plan: <http://www.rauminfo.ethz.ch/grundrissplan.gif?region=Z&areal=Z&gebaeude=CLA&geschoss=E&raumNr=4>
Abstract:
Der neuartige Desktop für Macintosh, inspiriert von und benannt nach der User-Interface-Legende Jef Raskin zeigt alle relevanten Dokumente und Programme auf einer einzigen, durchgehend zoombaren Oberfläche. Die Applikation implementiert mehrere zukunftsweisende Konzepte welche im Vortrag vorgestellt und anhand “Raskin” demonstriert werden: die Darstellung komplexer Informationshierarchien auf einer einzigen Fläche, der Umgang mit Grössenverhältnissen, das Timing der Animationen und die Touch- und Mausinteraktion mit einer spatialen Benutzerschnittstelle, Trends im Umgang mit Dokumenten und Ordnern und der gewählte UX-Entwicklungsprozess.

Hi everyone!
I’m back from my wonderful three months of travelling and and happy to see that quite some new members joined the group, welcome! I hope to see you soon.
Now the question is on how to proceed. We have talked several times about discussing “Designing for the Digital Age” in tranches (it’s about six hundert pages, if I remember correctly). My suggestion would be to finally tackle this, starting in March, and meet again in April and May.
So please give your oppinion in the poll:

Abstract:
Artificial Intelligence and robotics become more and more part of our daily life in the form of anthropomorphic robots for care, artificial limbs or a multitude of mobile and networked devices. The Artificial Intelligence Laboratory in Zurich is a place where researchers build robots to understand how thought and intelligence is related to the body and how various types of robots interact with and in their environment. In this lab visit we will get insight into the field with presentations of current research projects, and we will have the opportunity to discuss our questions.
