In this talk, I will report about our new ideas on extending the scope of human-computer interaction and cooperation support not only from desktops to meeting room scenarios as we did in the past but taking a more comprehensive perspective resulting in highly flexible and dynamic work environments. This perspective is provided by the notion of "cooperative buildings" which addresses the issues of how to integrate information technology, new work practices resulting from organisational innovation, and the physical environment, the architectural structures and facility management. Our approach incorporates also ideas from augmented reality and ubiquitous computing resulted in the view that the world around us is the interface. In order to illustrate this, we have developed i-LAND: an interactive landscape for creativity and innovation. i-LAND integrates several so-called "roomware" components into a combination of real, architectural as well as virtual, digital work environments for creative teams. By "roomware", we mean computer-augmented objects in rooms, like furniture, doors, walls, and others. The current realization of i-LAND covers an interactive electronic wall (DynaWall), an interactive table (InteracTable), two versions of computer-enhanced chairs (CommChairs). Furthermore, we developed "Passage", a mechanism for connecting information structures in the virtual information world with real world objects allowing also for physical transportation of digital information. More components are planned. i-LAND is an example application of our vision of the Workspaces of the Future. At the same time, it is a testbed for developing new forms of human-computer interaction and computer-supported cooperative work. Selected References:Streitz, N.A., Geißler, J., Holmer, T. (1998).
