In this position paper, I discuss aspects of the research program at MERL Cambridge in public situated displays and interactions. We are working on a number of key enabling technologies including smart projective displays, multi-user touch, and computer vision for face detection. We have developed an initial concept demonstration for retail environments that includes an integration of some of these technologies. As we continue to develop technologies and tools, a key question at this point in our research program is to determine a strategy for addressing the social and evaluative aspects of public interactive spaces.
