Many researchers introduced special rooms equipped with sensors, devices, networks, and computers to demonstrate ubiquitous computing environment. However, the cost and time for building such a room is a barrier to the deployment of various ubiquitous applications.We have developed Smart Furniture which instantaneously converts the legacy non-smart space into a Smart Hot-Spot which can provide the accessibility to the Internet, location-based context-aware services, service roaming, and personalization services. Since the Smart Furniture is equipped with networked computers, sensors and various I/Odevices, it can provide various services in public space as well as in private space.In this paper, the physical structure and middleware for the Smart Furniture are described. Applications of Smart Hot-Spot such as a Personalized Message Board System, a Zero-stop check-out System, and a Mobile TV-phone System is proposed.
