Abstract

The rapid developments in IoT, wireless technology, and mobile computing devices imply that ubiquitous computing is not a far-off dream from the present. But while it is not wrong to assume that ubiquitous computing will be achievable and feasible in the future, the concept is still plagued by a very high number of limitations. These numerous limitations are mainly related to the device’s hardware, security concerns, and energy maintenance for each device, cost and usability of the ubicomputing environment, connectivity, and complex user interface. This paper has pinpointed these exact issues and limitations that are stopping Ubicomp from becoming a reality. Along with finding these issues, we have also researched and mentioned potential solutions to them, which are being rapidly developed. Additionally, we have discussed  comparative study of these solutions and their limitations and what can be improved. Toward the end, we have added our suggestions on what can be done to overcome the obstacles for UbiComp, and the future possibilities for the technology.
