Abstract :
One of the most profitable applications of ubiquitous computers are simple information suppliers in an everyday environment. While there are some preceding studies on building decorative displays for weather, traffic and email information, there is room to invent new expressions of the Internet information in our daily lives. We have implemented a framed LCD that displays the weather forecast from information obtained via the Internet. We have created several Flash and Visual Basic programs to display a dynamic illustration reflecting the text file.
