Abstract

The Tangible Reminder Mobile brings together tangible mnemonics with ambient displays and mobile interaction. Based on the Tangible Reminder Project we present a new interface for mobile devices that is capable of viewing and editing data linked to real world objects. An intelligent piece of furniture equipped with RFID-sensors and digitally controlled lighting keeps track of appointments linked to real world objects that are placed in its trays. The mobile interface now allows the complete waiving of classic computer interaction for this ambient shelf. Instead, by implementing the toolglas metaphor, the mobile interface can be used to edit and view linked data to objects.
