ABSTRACT
Networking and embedded technology made it possible to integrate
physical objects with information infrastructure and augment the
physical environment with information and computing functions. As a
result the physical space becomes a Physical-Information Dual Space.
The user can interact with cyberspace in the 3D physical space in stead
of just in front of computers. In the Dual space the interaction can be
carried out in three layers: interface, service, and system in more
intuitive and natural way for users. To establish Dual relations in the
interface layer makes the object surface, paper document even the
contents becoming the interface; Dual relations in the service layer
allow the content based information index and retrieval. In the smart
space the Dual relations in the system layer will be able to carry out
implicit interaction with
users.
