The ambientROOM is a Tangible Bits platform which explores the use of ambient media as a means of communicating information at the periphery of human perception. The ambientROOM allows users to be aware of background bits using ambient display media such as ambient light, shadow, sound, airflow, water movement in an augmented architectural space. The ambientROOM also provides physical handles such as bottles and a clock to control ambient display of bits. The ambientROOM opens new possibilities of exploring seamless transitions between background awareness and foreground activity.
