These papers apply proxemics to control / design VE and HRI systems. This could be two topics

See Marquard's Section 11

Application area: Proximity applied to Personal Control Devices

These papers apply proxemics, where one device can be used to control another device e.g., as a remote control

These systems illustrated some of the potential directions of Proemics. The are important not only for the systems they demonstrate, but for the philosophy behind them. The first two on reactive environments in part use ideas such as presence, proximity, and exploiting spatial layouts of spaces. The work by Ballendat represents the state of the art in a proxemic-aware system. Tat Mobile is a futuristic video where some of its devices are proximity-aware.

Most of the course is based on a selection of readings from the list below. We read them ahead of a class, added a discussion point or two on the blog, then discussed them in class (sometimes with a student presentation that summarized the main points). We did not get through all of the case studies. Indeed, most of the course was spent on the foundational material. Still the case studies are good resources for students who wish to choose and perhaps present a topic within Ubicomp.

On a more general level, many of the readings on this list - particular the parts before the case studies - could also double as a foundational PhD reading list to Ubicomp.
