Interactive Public Ambient Displays

for sharable, interactive public ambient displays that
support the transition from implicit to explicit interaction
with both public and personal information. A prototype
system implementation that embodies these design
principles is described. We use novel display and
interaction techniques such as simple hand gestures and
touch screen input for explicit interaction and contextual
body orientation and position cues for implicit interaction.
Techniques are presented for subtle notification,
self-revealing help, privacy controls, and shared use by
multiple people each in their own context. Initial user
feedback is also presented, and future directions discussed.
