Abstract

This paper describes the design of a highly versatile ambient display, the InfoCanvas. Through a novel interface, people identify information of interest and then "paint" an appealing and meaningful representation of it on a virtual canvas for later communication back to them. This new form of interaction with information allows people to keep tabs on useful, but peripheral, information in a calm, unobtrusive manner.
