Using Ambient Displays and Smart Artefacts to Support Community Interaction in Distributed Teams

In this paper we point out the current changes and future trends of organizational concepts and explain their influence on workplace awareness and communication. We then elaborate the changing requirements for awareness and informal communication in distributed teams. Finally, we present two artefacts that support informal awareness and community interaction and describe their evaluation in a living-lab situation.
