"Neon" digipainting: modeling electronic arts and ubiquitous computing in a virtual environment
Pekka Ala-Siuru · 2002
In this paper we introduce a system prototype in which traditional human-computer interface is hidden inside electronic art pieces in the home environment. In this prototype an electronic art piece acts as a communication device as well as an artistic artefact. The proposed environment consists of: (1) a piece ' of electronic art which is a so called digipainting "Neon" and (2) mobile artefacts such as intelligent clothing, intelligent badges, i-buttons, mobile phones, PDAs and toys. We also introduce how the whole system is modelled first in a virtual environment. The virtual environment system will also handle different kind of sensors in real-time.
