projects
:on social mobile interaction & ubiquitous
computing
During
the recent years I have been working on the following research projects
which all relates to social mobile interaction design and
ubiquitous computing in one way or another.
Follow this
link if you are interested in publications related to the following
projects:


Moving Pictures - A robust, tangible and accessible multi-user
unit containing a set of tools that enable children to edit and
share video with children in other countries. In collaboration with
the Design school in Umeå and MIT Media Lab Europe in Dublin.

Negotiator- A smartphone application designed to support
micro-negotiations of availability in mobile settings.

One
Pixel Display - A one-pixel ambient display. In collaboration
with Andreas Lund and Annika
Westergren at Interactive Institute,
Tools studio.

FolkMusic - A mobile and ad-hoc peer-to-peer based entertainment
plattform for mobile music sharing. You can find a pressrelease
about this project here
(only in swedish).

ScrollPad - A mobile peephole display to support browsing
of large documents on small screen devices. This display was developed
in collaboration with Daniel
Fällman & Andreas
Lund.

RoamWare - As one part of my PhD-
thesis I developed a novel mobile device designed to support
continous and seamless interaction across mobile meetings and dispersed
computer mediated interaction.

UbiqBoard - A networked embedded display augmenting a traditional
office door whiteboard to support remote coordination.

RoamMug - Augmentating
everyday objects (including coffee mugs and books) to support social
workplace awareness and smooth transitions between co-located informal
meetings and online communication.

Welcome!
My
name is Mikael Wiberg
and I am an Associate Professor here at the Department of
Informatics, Umeå University, Sweden. I received my Ph.D. in
Informatics at Umeå University in 2001.
I
am a member of the CMID
Research group, the Research Network for Mobile
Interaction & Pervasive Social Devices, and
the IDE - Interaction in Dynamic Environments Research Network.
I also serve as an official contact person for the research areas
Human-Computer
Interaction Design and Social
interaction design within the research organization UCIT
- Umeå Center for Interaction Technology.
I
am also happy to serve as a first advisor for the PhD student
Kalle Jegers,
and as a second advisor for the PhD-students Annnakarin
Nyberg and Rikard
Harr here at the department of Informatics.
Research
interests
My
research focuses on the emerging Interaction Society (see my new
book entitled "The Interaction Society" in my list
of publications) with related issues including mobile interaction
technologies, mobile CSCW, mobile meetings, knowledge management
in mobile settings, proximity based interaction, and session management
for sustained and dynamic interaction across physical and virtual
arenas.
Other
areas of research interests include, but are not limited to:
- Ubiquitous computing
- Smart objects
- Ambient technologies/ambient displays
- Interactive Architecture & intelligent environments
I
am currently approaching these areas from various methodological
perspectives including e..g:
-
Naturalistic studies
- Explorative interaction design studies, and
- Concept-driven Interaction Design studies
The
Interaction Society
My
book, "The Interaction Society: Practice, Theories & Supportive
Technologies" is now available.
(ISBN nr: 1591405300).

Idea-group Inc, the publishing
company, describes the book as follows:
"New
information technologies enable us to interact with each other in
totally new ways. The Interaction Society: Practice, Theories and
Supportive Technologies provides readers with a rich overview of
the emerging interaction society enabled by these new information
and communication technologies (ICT). Readers will gain a theoretically
deep understanding of the core issues related to the character of
the emerging interaction society, be exposed to empirical case studies
that can help to understand the impact of this emergence through
analysis of concrete examples, and benefit from descriptions of
concrete design projects aimed at designing new novel information
technologies to support activities in the interaction society."
You
can find an interview with me about this book here,
and you can also read the pressrelease about this book here
(only in swedish).

more information about this book follow this link.
To
get hold of a copy of the book you can

we received an approval from ACM SigMobile to arrange MUM ´08
- "the 7th international conference on Mobile and Ubiquitous
Multimedia" as an official ACM conference. The conference
will be arranged here in Umeå 3-5 Dec 2008 as a joint
collaboration between Umeå university and LTU, and I will
serve as the general conference chair for this event. For more

New research project!
Our
new research and development project xID 2.0 - Interaction design
in extreme environments got EU Target 2-funding from Nutek and
"Strukturfondspartnerskapet för Övre Norrland"
(2 milj SEK). Länsstyrelsen i Västerbotten are also
funding the project (750 000 SEK) together with ICEHOTEL (510
000 SEK) andco-funding from the department of Informatics! This
implies a total project budget close to 4,7 milj SEK for a three-year
project.
Below
I present a short description of this new project.
-
[x]ID 2.0
- Interaction Design in eXtreme environments
In this project we conduct interaction design research
in the context of extreme environments. There are four focus
areas which this project will target including 1) turism, 2)
industry, 3) space, and 4) mobility. The project runs from 1/1-2008
until 31/12-2010. Our collaboration partners include e.g.: ICEHOTEL,
Apara, MultiQ, IRF, ZetaDisplay, Esrange and Ericsson.For an
introduction to this area please read our white
paper on "Interaktionsdesign i extrema miljöer"
(in swedish) or send me
an email if you want to know more about [x]ID 2.0.
