Abstract

This paper attempts to identify key emerging technologies in support of interactive applications in mobile computing devices and socio-technical factors in their implementation. It puts forward future prospects for interaction through a review of existing literature with respect to a number of relevant emerging technologies emphasising their interaction applications and suitability. It may be of interest to note that the advancement of technology is leading to significant changes in mobile computing capability. This in turn, is challenging established notions of interaction design frameworks and the public perception of mobile interaction. Finally, several underlying factors affecting the implementation of such emerging technologies are detailed, these manifest themselves in the application of all emerging technologies in interaction roles.

Keywords
