Bringing People and Places Together

This paper describes initial work on the Domisilica project at Georgia Tech. We are exploring the dual augmentation of physical and virtual worlds in Domisilica and applying this novel concept to support home life beyond the boundaries of the actual house. We will demonstrate the concepts of dual augmentation through one particular appliance, CyberFridge, which serves as an inventory management and communications link between physical and virtual worlds.
