HomeLab :: Environmental Interfaces

Environmental Interfaces: HomeLab: "This project represents a

new breed of interface called an "environmental interface."

We feel environmental interfaces are more natural because

they more closely resemble the physical, social "interface"

humans interact with in their daily lives. Fundamentally,

environmental interfaces abandon the idea of a single

concentrated interface such as we might associate with a

computer screen, and instead treat the whole environment

(a home in our example) as the interface, even the most trivial of tasks. "
