提出了一项探索性研究，以探索利用光作为通信介质来提供外围信息的机会。开发了一种创新的环境显示器，使用会议室墙壁上的动态灯光图案来支持会议期间的时间管理。该系统按照冷静的技术和信息装饰的原则设计，寻求审美和信息质量之间的平衡。创造了两个原型，并使用定性研究方法来评估光的概念和传递信息的有效性。结果证实了我们的概念的价值，因为它显示了用户对系统的可用性的欣赏和良好的理解水平。该项目引发了对设计指导方针的深刻思考，并提出了进一步开发环境显示的建议，以利用光线以一种微妙、不引人注目的方式传达抽象信息。
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.
