Abstract
This paper presents a roadmap for the transition from
current gadget-centric digital services towards a
gadget-free services environment called the Naked world.
The main idea of the Naked world is that all the services
which are currently provided by gadgets will be provided
by the infrastructure, thus no gadgets will be needed to
use any kind of digital services. When a user in the
Naked world intends to use a service, the infrastructure
senses the user, the nearby intelligent surrounding
launches an interactive user interface, performs
identification through biometric identities, provides the
service, and then closes the session when the user
finishes the job. Therefore, the Naked world comprises
highly intelligent and context-aware interactive
environments. The vision of the Naked world is an
evolution towards a user-friendly and ubiquitously
available digital services, which is naturally bounded by
the technological advancement. Henceforth, this paper
presents the essential technologies and functional
requirements along with the current and forthcoming novel
technological concepts and challenges for the realization
of the Naked world.
