ABSTRACT
We implemented blow displays, which provide force feelings with no contact. Although blow displays can use only wind velocities and directions to represent information, they are less intrusive and less visually polluting to other media than other displays. We propose collaborative ambient systems to utilize blow displays' characteristics of spatiality and compatibility with other media. In collaborative ambient systems, blow displays direct the user to displays that provide rich information. Blow displays can also express information auxiliary to the main content the user is attending to. In this paper, we describe some ongoing applications and discuss their benefits and issues.

Ambient Rabbits Likeability of Embodied Ambient Displays
AmI '09: Proceedings of the European Conference on Ambient IntelligenceThis paper discusses the possibility of using embodied Ambient Displays for presenting information in a public setting. For embodying an Ambient Display, a Nabaztag rabbit was used, the information displayed was a weather forecast. Throughout four weeks ...
Exploring wearable ambient displays for social awareness

An ambient display for the elderly
UAHCI'07: Proceedings of the 4th international conference on Universal access in human-computer interaction: ambient interactionThe demand for systems to assist in the care of the elderly is continually increasing. We propose an ambient display that allows casual and implicit interaction with an elderly user. The display system recognizes the user and measures the distance ...
