Editorial: ambient media as metaphor for creating new experiences and user interfaces

摘要

"Ambient Media" are a fundamentally new way how to define media in the ubiquitous era, and are contribute to the field of human-computer-interaction (HCI), computer science, experience design, media management, and media studies. Ambient Media have been defined, explored, and conceptualized in. This special issue devotes to the exploration of phenomena of ambient media, in particular on aspects of search and retrieval, interactive interfaces, designing experiences, applying new interaction concepts, the design of experiences, educational issues, and the future prospective of this novel media form. For this special issue, we accepted six papers exploring these issues.
