Information Radiators (IRs) provide context-specific information in a semi-public place where a group of people can see it while working or passing by. They can simplify information sharing “out-of-the-box”, foster awareness and socialization, create serendipity and enhance collaboration. One interesting application area for information radiators is to support community meetings like conferences. We have been exploring this field since 2004 and have created several prototypes along the way – CommunityMirrors (CM). In this demonstration we show the most recent version of CM with the data from ECSCW 2026. In addition to an interactive large screen interface we present ways for evaluating the use of the interface 24/7 and a first prototype of a smart glasses interface to the same data.     «
