Abstract

Due to the wide spread use of smart phones and PCs, people can access information everywhere in everyday life. However, there are very few methods to access content within an bathing environment. Some people carry smart phones into a bathroom but it is unnatural to be holding a device during bathing. This paper proposes an interactive water surface display system, in which information is projected on the surface of a white water solution and users can interact with this information using gestures. In this paper, we discuss interaction design in a bathroom, describing an implementation of our system and its proposed applications.
