我们提出了一个系统的定制和物理表示的即时通讯联系人悬挂有形的化身已配备了个性化的皮肤和一套互动。悬挂器创建用户的在线联系人的环境显示，其同时是外围的和交互的。用户在在线化身创建器中创建她自己的表示。个性化的皮肤被包装在一个标准的模块化电子套件周围，并邮寄给收件人。然后，Hangster体现了否则会发生的交互：在线/离线状态和接受/初始化对话。该系统允许用户的联系人的更多环境显示，同时为有形化身引入可定制的模块化电子工具包。
We propose a system for both the customisation and the physical representation of instant messaging contacts as hanging tangible avatars which have been outfitted with a personalized skin and set of interactions. Hangsters create an ambient display of a user's online contacts which is simultaneously peripheral and interactive. The user creates a representation of herself in an online avatar creator. The personalised skin is packaged around a standard modular electronic kit and mailed to the recipient. The Hangster then embodies the interactions that would otherwise take place onscreen: on/offline presence and accepting/initializing conversations. The system allows for a more ambient display of a user's contacts while introducing customisable modular electronic toolkits for the tangible avatars.
