I first got interested in media spaces in 1995 when I was asked to design the user interface of an analog audio-video system at Paris-Sud University. Having since designed, implemented and used various other systems inspired by early media spaces, I have witnessed the transitions from analog to digital, and from office settings do domestic ones. This chapter describes what I learned from media spaces in this context, how I built upon them, and what I think remains to be done.
