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