Abstract This chapter describes the TOWER awareness environment for co-operative activities that is based on inhabited information spaces. It provides a number of user configurable indicators. The 3D environment creates a shared space presenting users and their working context as an inhabited information space. The portal summarises all notifications in an overview presentation. We describe Smartmaps as a compact visualisation for an inhabited environment. They can be easily integrated into the information space itself to build social spaces. Furthermore, we present ambient interfaces.
