  • Abstract
    We have developed ActivityStudio (http:// activitystudio.sourceforge.net), an open source suite of tools for prototyping and in situ testing of low-cost ubicomp application prototypes. The tool suite´s design environment, ActivityDesigner, lets designers create rich ubicomp prototypes in a few hours, using high-level abstractions and techniques such as activity models, storyboards, and programming by demonstration.
