The document discusses new frontiers for prototyping experiences that weave digital information into physical space. It describes prototyping neighborhood energy usage scoreboards that displayed households' daily energy usage and comparisons to motivate conservation. Public displays reduced energy use by 13.2% while private displays reduced use by 12.1%, outperforming areas with no display. The document emphasizes balancing privacy and clarity in design and evaluating prototypes.
