Abstract. An explorative research to investigate the opportunities of using light as a communication medium to provide peripheral information is presented. An innovative ambient display, using dynamic light patterns on the walls of the meeting room to support time management during meetings has been developed. Designed according to the principles of calm technology and information decoration, the system seeks for a balance between aesthetical and informational quality. Two prototypes were created and qualitative research methods are used to evaluate the concept and the efficacy of light in conveying information. The results confirm the value of our concept by showing an appreciation of the usefulness and a good level of comprehension of the users towards the system. The project led to insightful considerations on design guidelines and recommendations for further development of ambient displays to use light to convey abstract information in a subtle, unobtrusive way.

“…The design of these devices should be carefully done so that they consider the contextual qualities of the environment such as aesthetics, emotions and aspirations whether they are place indoor in home, museums or outdoor in public places [15] [36] [34]. For example, when designing an ambient display, one should notice an ambient display because of a change in the data it is presenting and not because its design clashes with its environment [35].…”

Abstract. There is a growing interest of aesthetics issues in Human Computer Interaction (HCI) in the recent days. In this article we present our literature review where we investigate where and how aesthetics has been addressed by the HCI researchers. Our objective is to find out the sectors in HCI where aesthetics has a role to play. Aesthetics in HCI can be the common interest that involves both art and technology in HCI research with a view to facilitate from each others discipline in the form of mutual interaction.

“…Ambient displays are generally meant as architectural, physical interfaces between people and information, positioned in public spaces such as an office or a hallway, translating data in a calm, non-intrusive experience (Wisneski, Ishii, Dahley et al 1998). Because ambient displays are used in a public context, creative design is exploited for functional purposes, for instance to adapt the physical design to the physical environment or usage context (Mankoff, Dey, Hsieh et al 2003). Creative design is required in order to merge the display in the physical surroundings, in order to augment the acceptability of the general public, and to be able to entice the audience repeatedly over long periods of time.…”

Abstract. Data visualization is usually considered an expert field reserved for the computer science or data analysis specialist. In contrast, in this paper we argue that the approaches and theories from data visualization can form a rich contextual resource for teaching creative design principles to students. A conceptual data mapping model is proposed that describes a continuum between 'traditional' data visualization applications and more artistically inclined works of 'visualization art'. This model is useful to clarify conceptual relationships between different visualization design approaches, ranging from traditional data representation applications over to ambient displays to visualization art experiences. This exchange of insights from related scientific and artistic fields forms the foundation for potential collaboration initiatives in research or educational contexts. Subsequently, this aesthetic data visualization model is explained and illustrated by various student works accomplished in several creative design visualization course units.
