eyeJOT - A Ubiquitous Context-aware Campus Information System

Abstract

In this paper we present eyeJOT as a new context-aware smart campus information system combining ambient wall-sized displays with location-aware, context-sensitive information sharing on mobile devices. eyeJOT is a metaphor for how we might want a birds eye view of the activities on and off the university campus to guide users through the plethora of information. The platform supports navigation using proximity detection and information posting for news, activities and schedules using Bluetooth and SMS. We introduce the eyeJOT ubiquitous computing architecture, the interface design and present possible use cases.
