Ubiquitous Cordoba, a Cultural and Ambient Assisted Living U-City Approach

  • Conference paper
Communicability, Computer Graphics and Innovative Design for Interactive Systems (CCGIDIS 2011)

Abstract

Ubiquitous Cordoba is the consequence of the development of digital communication. This has transported us into a new cultural ecosystem: the society of ubiquity. With the development of the web 2.0 and its latest versions, Internet users are granted the condition of “prosumers” (digital content producers and consumers); when they are combined with the variety of devices that result from the development of the mobile digital communication, the result is digital life. The main goal of Ubiquitous Cordoba is to empower the first accessible, usable and adaptive Ubiquitous City of the world with a special focus on elderly people, dependents, e-services and city cultural initiatives from a city with more than 3.000 years history.
