Café life in the digital age: augmenting information flow in a café-work-entertainment space

• ACM Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI 2006)

In this report we detail our experience of designing and installing a large-screen public, interactive community board, the eyeCanvas, in a neighbourhood café and art gallery in San Francisco. Features of the community board include the ability to display content related to the café, including menus, nightly events and artists' work; the possibility of signing up for the cafe's email newsletter; and a touch-screen, "finger scribble" application that allows comments to be left.
