Abstract :
The aim of this research is to realize an "intelligent space". This intelligent space is a platform for realizing multi-agent systems. In order to build a multi-agent system, the most important element is the human interface technology in the intelligent space. It is important for this human interface technology to think about the "universal design approach" and "cognitive science approach". These approaches are the convenient approach for all people: not only young people but also elderly people and handicapped people. In order to realize the human interface, this paper proposes an all "augmented sensing" approach. Human can feel invisible information to be visible information by using this augmented sensing. This paper explains the augmented sensing in detail and show an effectiveness of the augmented sensing in the intelligent space.
