Playful Information Access Through Virtual Creatures

摘要

This paper proposes Ambient Bot, an information notification system that presents practical everyday contents to people intimately and ambi-ently. Ambient Bot requires people to wear a head-mounted display (HMD). Users see a virtual creature in the real world via augmented reality technologies. The creature not only speaks but presents everyday information that people might be interested in only when they focus their attentions on the creature itself.
