Vision:
When you walk up to an interaction device that is
|
|
|
|
part
of a system employing Jini technology, all of its
|
|
|
|
services
are as available to you as if they were on your
|
|
|
|
own
computer--and services include not only software but
|
|
|
hardware
devices as well, including disk drives, DVD
|
|
|
|
players,
VCRs, printers, scanners, digital cameras, and
|
|
|
|
almost
anything else you could imagine that passes
|
|
|
information in and out. Adding a new device to a
system
|
|
|
|
employing
Jini technology is simply plugging it in.
