Abstract
In this paper we explore the use of Distributed User Interfaces (DUIs) in the field of Ambient Intelligence (AmI). We first introduce the emerging area of AmI, followed by describing three case studies where user interfaces or ambient displays are distributed and blending in the user’s environments. In such AmI environment, technology is hidden capturing contextual information aimed at different applications, each displaying information tailored to the user. We end the paper with lessons learned from these case studies.
