The motivation of this paper is that the previous ambient display systems are focused on photo display or special purpose such as senior care. It is difficult to customize these systems for other purpose. We present multi-purpose ambient display system. The proposed system supports various display hardware, accepts various media objects (images, videos, agents, voices, sounds, and scripts), and uses simple and powerful Scene Description Language (SDL). The proposed system is composed of three parts; first, a scene renderer parses a SDL and renders 3D image on the screen. Second, a display mediator distributes display request to adequate scene renderer. Third, a mobile messenger is communication tool. We evaluate the proposed system in our Activities Daily Living (ADL) monitoring system and medication alert system.
