Title: | UbiMount - Ubiquitous Computing in the Mountains | Authors: | Daiber, Florian Cheverst, Keith Zancanaro, Massimo Kosmalla, Felix SCHOENING, Johannes Häkkilä, Jonna Lahda, Cassim Wiehr, Frederik |
Issue Date: | 2016 | Publisher: | ACM | Source: | Adjunct Proceedings of the International Joint Conference on Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing Ubicomp 2016 | Abstract: | Mobile and wearable computing has great potential to support alpine outdoor sport activities. This includes, but is not limited to, rock climbing, hiking, mountain biking, paragliding, and skiing. Interestingly, technology for tracking, monitoring and supporting sport activities is broadly used in sports like running or cycling, but has not reached the top of the mountains yet. Nevertheless, such technologies could support people in many mountain scenarios such as activity tracking, navigation, or emergency support. Technologies and applications for mountaineers can learn from ubiquitous computing research in many ways to provide more joyful, motivating and safer outdoor experiences. This workshop addresses the promises and challenges that arise, when UbiComp technologies are applied to alpine activities. During this two day workshop the participants will present their positions and research, followed by a hands-on experience on current technology during a field trip. | Keywords: | alpine sports; outdoor activities; sports technologies; technology acceptance; activity tracking; wearable computing | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/21789 | ISBN: | 9781450344623 | Rights: | Permission to make digital or hard copies of all or part of this work for personal or classroom use is granted without fee provided that copies are not made or distributed for profit or commercial advantage and that copies bear this notice and the full citation on the first page.
