Abstract

Roomotes gives people remote control of their physical surroundings through Web phones. The system manages virtual rooms that mirror physical rooms. Roomotes presents not only the devices present in a room, but also the people. Using Roomotes' real world navigator we can control the lighting and audio-video equipment in our conference room from any Web phone. An unusual aspect of Roomotes is notification: users can request text messages be sent to their phone whenever the contents (e.g., people) or "state" of a room's devices change.
