Abstract:
The personalization of an individual
computer user's experience of the virtual world,
especially with respect to one's interactions with the
Internet and World Wide Web, has received a great deal of
attention. However, many of us continue to spend most of
our time in the physical world, and much of this time is
spent in the company of others. We are exploring how we
might best take advantage of what the virtual world has to
offer in specific contexts in the physical world. In
particular, we are developing systems that adapt physical
spaces by allocating influence over certain aural and
visual aspects of these spaces collectively to the group
of people inhabiting those spaces at any given time.
