Abstract
Cooperative Rooms (COR) is an interdisciplinary research and development program of GMD in collaboration with partners. Its objective is to design, develop and investigate future workspaces by bringing together information and communication technology, architecture, design and management of buildings, and new flexible forms of individual and joint work. This paper concentrates on bridging the gap between physical and virtual work environments by the development of an innovative device, called roomComputer. The roomComputer is an embedded system and as such offers unprecedented chances to administer distributed physical work environments of people from virtual ones and vice versa.
