Purpose. This paper explores the capability of smartphones as computing devices for a quadcopter, specifically in terms of the ability of drones to maintain a position known as the position hold function. Image processing can be performed…

The key to the success of pocket microscopes stems from the convenience for anyone to magnify the fine details (tens of micrometres) of any object on-thespot. The capability with a portable microscope lets us surpass our limited vision and…

We present Plane-Casting, a novel technique for 3D object manipulation from a distance that is especially suitable for smartphones. We describe two variations of Plane-Casting, Pivot and Free Plane-Casting, and present results from a pilot…

Augmented reality (AR) is often realized through head-mounted displays, offering immersive but egocentric experiences. While smartphone-based AR is more accessible, it remains limited to handheld, single-user interaction. We introduce…

This paper focuses on services and applications provided to mobile users using airborne computing infrastructure. We present concepts such as drones-as-a-service and fly-in,fly-out infrastructure, and note data management and system design…

This article introduces our vision for a new interaction paradigm: Heads-Up Computing, a concept involving the provision of seamless computing support for daily activities. Its synergistic and user-centric approach frees humans from common…

Mobile smartphones along with embedded sensors have become an efficient enabler for various mobile applications including opportunistic sensing. The hi-tech advances in smartphones are opening up a world of possibilities. This paper…

With the evolution of mobile devices, and smart-phones in particular, comes the ability to create new experiences that enhance the way we see, interact, and manipulate objects, within the world that surrounds us. It is now possible to blend…

In this paper we introduce a proposal to provide students in labs with an alternative to the traditional visible range spectrophotometers, whose acquisition and maintenance entails high costs, based on smartphones. Our solution faced two…

We create a 'virtual-seabed' platform to realize the 3D visual analysis of seabed on smartphone. The 3D seabed platform is based on a 'section-drilling' model, implementing visualization and analysis of the integrated data of seabed on the…

Artificial intelligence (AI) technology makes mobile devices become intelligent objects which can learn and act automatically. Although AI will bring great opportunities for mobile applications, little work has focused on the architecture…

With smart devices, particular smartphones, becoming our everyday companions, the ubiquitous mobile Internet and computing applications pervade people daily lives. With the surge demand on high-quality mobile services at anywhere, how to…

The sensors in modern smartphones are a promising and cost-effective tool for experimentation in physics education, but many experiments face practical problems. Often the phone is inaccessible during the experiment and the data usually…

Mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets have become ubiquitous in today's modern computing landscape. The applications that run on these mobile devices (often referred to as "apps") have become a primary means of computing for…

Looking at the last decade, progress in technology has made a huge impact on our lifestyles. Enhanced use of mobile phones has provided a technological breakthrough, with the latest smartphones capturing the market. The word smartphone is…

In this article, a floating robotic emulation platform for a virtual demonstration of satellite motion in space is presented. The robotic platform design is characterized by its friction-less, levitating, yet planar motion over a…

Close to half of the world population have smartphones, while a typical flagship smartphone today has been integrated with more than 20 smart components and sensors, making a smartphone a highly integrated platform that can potentially…

Grid and cloud computing systems have been extensively used to solve large and complex problems in science and engineering areas. These systems include powerful computing resources connected through high-speed networks. Due to recent…

Augmented Reality (AR) is becoming mobile. Mobile devices have many constraints but also rich new features that traditional desktop computers do not have. There are several survey papers on AR, but none is dedicated to Mobile Augmented…

During the last years, it has become increasingly clear that smartphones are valuable tools to be used almost everywhere. Until recently, a place that still resisted smartphone onslaught was the aquatic media. However, nowadays, many modern…
