We introduce a shadowgraph system with permanent installation in an effort to activate limited spaces e.g. entrance and lounge of large shopping mall. This system shows or portrays shadows of users and passersby with various effects on a screen. This system will lead spatially-separated people to detecting their images and sound even by far.

Scholars understand shopping malls as central commercial and social settings. Some argue that malls’ designs attract and seduce consumers, while others contend that mall authorities exclude vulnerable groups and prohibit free expression. Ethnographic studies, by contrast, document how consumers interpret and shape malls as social settings. Drawing on qualitative research in two Santiago, Chile,...

The adaptive thermal comfort model links indoor comfort temperatures to prevailing weather outdoors, shifting them higher in warm weather and lower in cool weather. Adaptive comfort engineering standards hold the potential to conserve energy, but for them to work effectively it is essential that building occupants are free to adapt themselves, primarily through clothing adjustment, to the varia...

This talk focuses on the ambient intelligence for network robot systems including robots and/or sensor networks, smartphones, etc. It is one of the significant functions allowing robot services over multiple sites. As examples of ambient intelligence on the human trajectory and behaviors, the "ambient intelligence map" is introduced. Next, the robotic services of shopping support for elderly, t...

In this work, we demonstrate the practicality of people tracking by means of physical-layer fingerprints of RFID tags that they carry. We build a portable low-cost USRP-based RFID fingerprinter and we show, over a set of 210 EPC C1G2 tags, that this fingerprinter enables reliable identification of individual tags from varying distances and across different tag placements (wallet, shopping bag, ...
