Mark Weiser - The Father of Ubiquitous Computing


"Ubiquitous computing names the third wave in computing, just now beginning. First were mainframes, each shared by lots of people. Now we are in the personal computing era, person and machine staring uneasily at each other across the desktop. Next comes ubiquitous computing, or the age of calm technology, when technology recedes into the background of our lives. "

-Mark Weiser





  • The purpose of a computer is to help you do something else.
  • The best computer is a quiet, invisible servant.
  • The more you can do by intuition the smarter you are; the computer should extend your unconscious.
  • Technology should create calm.

Sketches

Here are some SKETCHES!!!

Idea Development

What I'm doing?
Ubiquitous Computing Music Making
Example?
Nike Music Shoe *Click to Know More*

Where is the best place to exhibit this installation?

Studio. Sound Studio.

How do you do so?
I'm using Mixer(s), Software(Pro Tools or any other music making software), Arduino, Various Sensors, PC(s)

Why Sound Studio is the best place?
Studio got a better sound quality, it will perform even better compared to a much open places. Since I'm doing something related to Music Making, then sound is very important. Bass, Treble, and some other mixer's available equalization.

Who will take place?

Music Maker/Challengers
Music Maker can try a new way of making music which will give them some challenges as well.
Challengers, are those people who don't know anything about music making and also instruments, can challenge themselves in this unique Installation.

Precedence Studies

Nike Free Run+ Ads aka Nike Music Shoe


This is an Nike Free Run+ advertisement performed by HIFANA

This project was handled by Daito Manabe. He is the programmer also the technician. He used Arduino, Pro-Tools, Bend Sensors, Acceleration Sensors, MacBook Pro, and some others wiring system to get this Nike Music Shoe works.


Figure 1.0
This Diagram shows how Daito do gets everything together and make it works.


Figure 1.1


Figure 1.2
This Diagram shows the Software of Daito's Pro Tools working with the Sensors.

This installation/exhibition is a success after they published this ads on the web. People were impressed by the way they presented the whole idea, some of the people even think these installation is a fake. However, this is a brand new challenge to music maker as other music maker don't use this method to create their music.
