Abstract
The opening of ubiquitous computing era prompted rapid increase in information transfer between human and computer. Such changes in computing environment requires new computing interface. In this paper, we develop a user interface prototype and framework using Avatar in Ubiquitous computing environment, which can support an active communication between human and computer based on context information. To develop the new interface, its conceptual framework with specific context information is designed in advance. In addition, this study suggests the future goal of user interface using Avatar by suggesting the requirements of constructed prototype.
