Echoes of the City Interactive Spaces transforms a somewhat predictable Roskilde library into an experience space that immerses the user in the information flow between the library and the surrounding city. Pulse, atmosphere, sound and movements from the city are transformed into live interactive installations. The theme of the installation "Echoes of the City" is the library's sensitivity towards the surrounding world illuminated by the themes the Individual in the library, the City in the library and the World in the library.

InfoGallery InfoGallery is a web-based infrastructure for enriching the physical library space with informative art “exhibitions” of digital library material and other relevant information, such as RSS news streams, event announcements etc. InfoGallery presents information in an aesthetically attractive manner on a variety of surfaces in the library, including cylindrical displays and floors. The infrastructure consists of a server structure, an editor application and a variety of display clients. [more]

iSport The project explores how pervasive computing technologies can enhance sport experiences for both amateur, elite and the audience. The research focus of the project is Kinaesthetic Interaction, pervasive mobile games and lightweight software components configured by the position and and connection of physical tools for sports.

Locusts Dynamically Adaptive Pervasive Computing Associate Professor Niels Olof Bouvin has received a grant from the Danish Research Council for Technology and Production (FTP) for a three year research project named "Locusts - Dynamically Adaptive Pervasive Computing through Cyber Foraging". Imagine a world, where computers - from tiny devices over mobile phones, laptop computers, and powerful stationary machines seamlessly work together, aiding one another in helping you accomplish what you want. When you are on your own in the wilderness, the devices you brought along work alone or in concert with each other, and when you are somewhere with more infrastructure, your devices become more capable - suddenly able to perform large computations or transfer huge files much quicker than before. We do not yet have such a system in widespread use, but the Locusts research project is dedicated to extending our knowledge of this area, and in doing so, creating tools and frameworks to aid in the creation of systems and applications capable of seamlessly utilising available digital resources.

UrbanWeb A Mobile Social Context-Aware Web Infrastructure Recent years have seen a dramatically increase in adoption of small mobile devices such as mobile phones and PDAs. At the same time a rich variety of physical tagging and sensing mechanisms is emerging. Systems that combine mobile devices with sensor technology (e.g. Bluetooth, GPS, RFID, Cameras, etc.) have already demonstrated how information and services can be tailored to the user's current situation through use of context-awareness and pervasive computing techniques. While these systems are very useful context-aware information systems, they only focus on aspects of the user as consumer of information and not on the user as active participant and producer of information.
