Abstract:A useful information display system must be able to maintain the users sense of
context by keeping the important information clearly viewable and conserving
important relationships, while subduing information not currently relevant.
The Visible Language Workshop (VLW) of the MIT Media Laboratory has developed
unique methods to interconnect different user views of dynamic transportation events
by managing spatial information. Some VLWdisplays can interactively sense and
learn about the user's real world context or about events occurring beyond the users
environment. VLW has demonstrated that displays can provide alerts or decision
support based on digital "expert" knowledge.
