Abstract

We envision that the physical architectural space we inhabit will be a new form of interfacebetween humans and digital information [2]. This paper and video present the design of the ambientROOM, an interface to information for processing in the background of awareness. This information is displayed through various subtle displays of light, sound, and movement. Physical objects are also employed as controls for these “ambient media.”
