"Once you understand this future of computing, the possibilities are endless."

Research conducted by Dr Cowling in collaboration with Assistant Professor James R. Birt at Bond University leverages the ‘go anywhere' aspects of ubiquitous computing to develop an iPhone application for sound recognition that allows headphone-wearing joggers to be made aware of dangerous situations so they can take action.

Dr Cowling feels that 2010 will be a year of phenomenal growth for ubiquitous computing.
