Neste artigo discute-se uma categoria particular de sistemas de informação, a saber, sistemas de informação ambiente (ambient information systems). Estes sistemas apresentam informações de maneira não intrusiva, privilegiando a periferia de nossa percepção, valendo-se dos princípios da tecnologia sem estresse (calm technology). São descritos projetos dessa natureza, evidenciando suas características e limitações. Ao final do artigo são propostas algumas questões e possíveis desdobramentos. O artigo é fruto de uma pesquisa exploratória desenvolvida pelo autor, como parte de sua tese de doutorado em andamento, cujo tema trata do design de interação em contextos de pervasividade computacional.

He published the interview on his website, translated to Spanish. It’s been a while since I answered his questions, and I totally forgot about it. I really liked the interview, […]
