Embedding Information
Workshop "Ubiquitous Display Environments", held at UbiComp 2004, September 2004

Observing mobile phone information push services it appears that endless information is available. Users can subscribe to many different messaging services. However, much of the information is interesting only in a very specific context of use. We investigate how information can be provided to users exactly when it is needed. Our approach is based on a variety of information displays unobtrusively embedded into the users environment. We place the information displays in context. In contrast to the traditional approach on context-awareness where a context is recognized and then the appropriate information is delivered we look at providing information already in context.
