Welcome to Ubiquitous Oulu
The unique infrastructure of ubiquitous technology in the city center of Oulu enables new type of interaction between the citizens and technology. Ubiquitous Oulu is a prototype of a future ubiquitous city which is being built by the multidisciplinary UBI (UrBan Interactions) Program, coordinated by the University of Oulu, and the City of Oulu. Ubiquitous city stands for an urban space in which information technology is being harnessed invisibly and effectively for the use of processes taking place in the space. The objective is to create an urban environment in which better services are being offered to the people of the city.
The additional value produced by the infrastructure and services for the users of the urban space is being studied systematically in field tests. The first field test was organized in summer 2009 and the next is organized in summer 2010.
