Abstract
- We present a concept for information equipment called information-accessing furniture. We have developed an embedded module to be assembled into tables, mirrors, and walls. It can be easily assembled into furniture or other interior components because it is a package of information processing units, input/output units, and other optional units. This concept enables building information equipment designed to match a surrounding environment, and offers an intuitive interface to users, thus helping them to obtain information easily while doing routine activities. We developed several different prototypes with embedded modules and studied their applications. Some comments we received during interviews with end-users and interior designers are also presented.
