Roomware. Computers disappear and interaction evolves

2004 , Prante, T. , Streitz, N.A. , Tandler, P.

When engaging in brainstorming, strategic planning, and decision making, many people still use traditional media such as felt pens on whiteboards. Apparently, interacting with real physical objects feels easier than operating and interacting with computer monitors in these situations. Unfortunately, the information generated during such meetings cannot be captured immediately for digital postprocessing and can easily be lost altogether. Researchers at the Fraunhofer Integrated Publication and Information Systems Institute in Darmstadt seek to design environments that combine the affordances of real objects with computer-based support's potential in the virtual world. This combination generates hybrid worlds that have significant consequences for the design of human-computer interaction.

Roomware-moving toward ubiquitous computers

2002 , Tandler, P. , Streitz, N. , Prante, T.

Collaboration between users and environments with multiple interconnected devices will determine, to a large degree, approaches to work and everyday activities. An example of this type of device is roomware, or computer-augmented objects resulting from the integration of room elements, such as walls, doors, and furniture, with computer- based information devices. The roomware components that we have developed at Fraunhofer IPSI support the vision of a future where our surroundings act as an information interface, and the computer as a device disappears from our perception. Three main observations influenced the creation of roomware components: the growing importance of information technology; the need to integrate information technology with the environment in which it is used; and the recognition that new work practices will emerge to cope with the increasing rate of the innovation.

Designing smart artifacts for smart environments

2005 , Streitz, N.A. , Röcker, C. , Prante, T. , Alphen, D. van , Stenzel, R. , Magerkurth, C.

Smart artifacts promise to enhance the relationships among participants in distributed working groups, maintaining personal mobility while offering opportunities for the collaboration, informal communication, and social awareness that contribute to the synergy and cohesiveness inherent in collocated teams.
