Images

• Two Octopus terminals at the office, one running a main screen and another running an auxiliary screen. Editing using both at the same time is feasible, and some of the UIs shown in the top-level row are replicated among the screens without the application knowing. This image shows a screenshot of a Octopus terminal while it was running at home (with the PC at the office).
• The corridor has some screens (nemo's), (enrique's and paurea's) displaying who is where and arrows pointing to the right direction.
• In the lab we have a walldisplay with context information, incluiding posters changing depending on the users present and a voice and sound volume.
• Our server is a 5TB AoE server with Plan 9.
• In the lab we run Plan B terminals and Octopus terminals (the one shown was using acme).
• A screenshot of a Plan B terminal.
• Nemo's office is equiped with three screens: a 19" TFT as Primary Screen, a projector as the Main Screen and a 15" touchscreen as Other Screen. Nemo also uses his laptop and a tablet PC as terminals.
• Katia usually works with her laptop PC attached to a 17" TFT. Her office is also equiped with another 17" TFTs and a workstation.
• Enrique's office is provided with two workstation and two 17" TFTs as Primary and Main Screens. He also works with his laptop computer.
• The Lab is equiped with a Mimio electronic whiteboard and multiple Mini-TX that are used as terminals. Outside the Lab, there is a Mini-TX that permits guest users access to context information (/who).
• We use Hexamite active RFIDs in order to get location information. LSUB users carry a transmiter (1, 2), and every LSUB member's office is equiped with a receiver(1, 2).
• We also use X10 sensors in order to adquire location information.
