Abstract

This paper describes the development of a multi-user interactive display in the coffee corner that makes the office workers aware of events happening within the company aiming to stimulate social interaction. New input devices, i-Candies (fake candies integrated with RFID tags) are used as multiuser input devices for explicit interactions with the display. The interactive display and i-Candies have been deployed and tested within the office environment.
