Congratulations to Informatics faculty member Don Patterson on having his paper, 'Constructing Topological Maps of Displays with 3-D Positioning Information' accepted to Ambient Intelligence 2009.

Abstract: To better coordinate information displays with moving people and the environment, software must know the locations and three dimensional alignments of the display hardware. In this paper we describe a technique for creating such an enhanced topological map of networked public displays using a mobile phone. The result supports a richer user experience, without the cost of maintaining a high resolution reconstruction of a smart environment.
