So what is Ambient Intelligence? It's like Techwear - but - with objects instead of clothes. The main idea stays the same: build sensors into something and connect it to something else.

Here is a current example: the multi-manager chair from Dauphin. "Manager" does not mean it's for business, it means that the chair itself manages the light, the heat or something else in the room. The main use is to save energy and enjoy a bit more convenience. The function is realized with a sensor inside the chair that knows if s/o uses the chair or not and sends a signal to whatever source you can think of (like the air condition).

The press release is on their german site only - I have no idea why there is no english release. Any idea?
