History Tablecloth
The tablecloth draws attention to the flow of objects over surfaces within the home by signalling how long things have been left upon it. When an object is left on the table, it's weight and location are registered. If the object remains motionless for a certain amount of time, a glowing EL halo forms beneath and around it.
The History Tablecloth is part of the Equator IRC Domestic Experience project, conceived by and developed in cooperation with the Interaction Research Studio at the Royal College of Art.
