What is the main point of the article?

Ubicomp infrastructure, fixed units and mobile devices continue to form new hybrid platforms that, like current cloud computing initiatives, converge in an ever-expanding culture of connected systems provided through wireless networks and fixed-line broadband networks.
Economic forces continue to drive the development of mobile devices, making more and more complex modes of visual and auditory communication available, but the role and potential contribution of new media in addressing and unraving the problems and complexities of contemporary society remains unclear.
From an ontological perspective, “Towards a General Lustrous Theory: Reflections on Play, Rules, and Space” attempts to describe the boundaries of the ubiquitous play.
With the widespread spread and influence of mobile platforms, the promise of software culture has been prefounded on the notion of ubiquitous information.

How does it relate specifically to my practice?

This literature popularized the concept of Ubicomp to me and formed a new platform associated with mobile devices through the form of network extension.
This project can enrich the visual and auditory flexibility of interaction design, solve some problems in the current society with new media, and appropriately inspire me to combine the professional interaction during my undergraduate and graduate years.
I think I can use this concept to further improve my rose map, so that the project of plant clock-in map may develop from research to user interaction.
