Abstract

In this paper we would like to introduce our approach towards the integration of place and media technology. It should serve as a proposal, that takes into account the significant role of the place itself as a medium and discusses the possibilities and tasks of media integration in this context. We would like to call this approach location sensitive, because in our point of view, the characteristics of distinctive locations demand for sensitive technological integration as well as sensitive selection of displayed information.
