 Effectiveness of Ubicomp
Which one will be more effective?
Should we live in virtual world? or Should computing
come out and live in our physical world?
Cyber world with Virtual Reality
Physical world with Ubicomp

 Ubicomp vs Virtual Reality

Virtual Reality is about simulating physical world & putting people

inside virtual computing world. (Limited applications & activities.).
Ubicomp is about bringing computing to peoples physical world,
integrating with everyday objects and activities.
Ubiquitous computing is an integration of human factors, computer
science, engineering, and social sciences.
