We describe the i-LAND environment which constitutes an example of our vision of the
workspaces of the future, in this case supporting cooperative work of dynamic teams with
changing needs. i-LAND requires and provides new forms of human-computer interaction
and new forms of computer-supported cooperative work. Its design is based on an
integration of information and architectural spaces, implications of new work practices and
an empirical requirements study informing our design. i-LAND consists of several roomware …
We describe the i-LAND environment which constitutes an example of our vision of the workspaces of the future, in this case supporting cooperative work of dynamic teams with changing needs. i-LAND requires and provides new forms of human-computer interaction and new forms of computer-supported cooperative work. Its design is based on an integration of information and architectural spaces, implications of new work practices and an empirical requirements study informing our design. i-LAND consists of several roomware components, i.e. computer-aug- mented objects integrating room elements with information technology. We present the current realization of i-LAND in terms of an interactive electronic wall, an interactive table, two computer-enhanced chairs, and two bridges for the Passage-mechanism. This is complemented by the description of the creativity support application and the technological infrastructure. The paper is accompanied by a video figure in the CHI99 video program.
