Abstract

Intelligent environments are responsive and sensitive to the presence of people. Users are integrated into a digital atmosphere which is adaptative to their needs, habits and emotions. Under the Ambient Intelligence vision, our main objective is to offer visualization of information services. They are integrated into a digital environment with contents adapted to the situation of the context at all times. These services are offered through a process of user identification by modelling the context around it (combining Near Fear Communication –NFC- and Radiofrequency Identification –RFID technologies). Moreover, by analyzing typical situations, we can define the “mosaic roles” that guide the generation process of Pervasive Display Systems.
