Information is becoming accessible everywhere in everyday life due of the spread of smart phones and portable personal computers; however are very few methods in accessing contents in a bathing environment. Sometimes smart phones can be carried into a bathroom but it is unnatural to be holding a device at during bathing, so a suitable technique for information browsing in a bathing environment is required. We propose an interactive water surface display system, which uses image-recognition techniques. By using water, the system can perform an intuitive interaction peculiar to water such as poking a finger up from under the water surface, stroking the water surface and scooping up water. In this paper, we discuss interaction design in a bathroom, describing an implementation of our system and its applications.
