Introduction

InteractiveSpaces is an interdisciplinary research center bringing together architecture, engineering, and computer science with the research mission to create new concepts for future interactive spaces. InteractiveSpaces.net also bring together companies and public researchers in a R&D activities leading to new products and services for specific domains.The research activities focus on six themes which may be applicable to one or more of the application domain projects undertaken in the center. The application domains to be studied include schools, libraries, museums, homes and specific workplaces.

InteractiveSpaces is an IT research center, and it includes competences within a number of IT research areas such as augmented reality, virtual reality, hypermedia, human-computer interaction, context-awareness, tracking, mobile computing, etc.

InteractiveSpaces apply a variety of Particiaptory Design methods in order to involve prospective users and partners in the design of new interactive environments. Participatory design helps to create more relevant solutions for users and it reduces the number of early design mistakes through working with concretized design visions such as video-prototypes, mock-ups, prototypes and scenarios.

InteractiveSpaces.net is the Web-site for the ISIS Katrinebjerg branch which was coined Center for Interactive Rooms, Buildings and Cities in Danish. We will use InteractiveSpaces as the short name for the center.
