This paper describes augmentation of daily objects as a mean to interact with a ubiquitous/pervasive computing environment. A daily object employs a context-aware capability, where a user's specific context is captured implicitly and naturally by sensors from its original usage because such an everyday object has inherent roles and functionalities. Also, information is presented naturally and effectively during the utilization. A user does not need to learn how to get information, which fills the gap between a user and a complex ubiquitous/pervasive computing environment. In this paper, some projects on augmenting daily objects are presented, where possible applications and a technique to complement a missing piece of context that is obtained only from an instrumental object are presented. Also, we propose to assure a sensor placement for reliable sensing by a daily object.
