physical-Digital and physical-Virtual codesign in inSpace

T he inSpace project is an interdisciplinary collaboration between the Georgia Institute of Technology and Steelcase, bringing together expertise in humancomputer interaction, ubiquitous computing infrastructure, industrial design, furniture and interior design, and architecture. InSpace has two central goals. The first is to understand how guiding principles in the design of the physical world should inform the design of the digital technologies and services that form the pervasive computing substrate in these spaces. The second and more important goal is to understand how to codesign these two layers. Following this physicaldigital codesign philosophy, we designed an interactive team room from the ground up. We believe that the products and experiences of this research extend to physical-virtual cross-reality workspaces.
