Interfacing with building data: toward an integrated mobile augmented environment

Communications between buildings and their occupants through multimodal Human Computer Interactions (HCI) can dramatically enhance the way buildings are experienced. Although building performance data is becoming more readily available, no research has been established to enable visualization of and interaction with this information in a robust way. This paper will present a method that will allow users to visualize and interact with building performance data in real space. It extends our research efforts to enable users to visualize such data for multiroom settings by developing methods to enable such environments to become mobile and being able to communicate with readily available building data.
