The Ki/o project transforms informal public gathering spaces such as hallways, break areas, and elevator lobbies into intelligent environments like 835 and e21. This requires embedding computation, communication, and perceptual capabilities into the walls of these spaces, and to develop perceptually-enabled applications appropriate for these spaces.
Several Ki/o kiosks have already been installed around the Laboratory. These kiosks will soon grant users direct access to useful location and context-based information and services.
