Abstract

Our preliminary research focuses on the development of an Ambient Mobile Browsing Experience (AMBE) system. AMBE is a communication and synchronisation framework that will provide integrated connectivity across heterogeneous geographically distributed devices. The intention is to provide persistent location-independent and appliance-sensitive viewing for the user, thus enabling Internet mobility. Human technology interfacecommunication will be abstracted to a representation that facilitates optimisation and customisation across a number of different displays. This will help to ensure seamlesscontinuity between components providing usability and maximum user convenience. An emphasis of our work is the application of a human-centered design ethos.
