Riporto alcuni esempi di Ambient Devices, alcuni dei quali sono in commercio:

Nabaztag (Violet. Nabaztag. http://www.nabaztag.com) connects to the internet via Wi-Fi and through sound, light and movement can provide its owner with different Web Services, it can be programmed to read RSS feeds, e-mails and text messages out loud. Owners set preferences for which items they'd like read. The rabbit can also play MP3s, voicemail messages, and Nabcastspodcasts recorded by members of the Nabaztag community.

Weather Patterns (Gmachl, M. and Wingfield R., Weather Patterns. http://loop.ph/bin/view/Loop/WeatherPatterns) is a permanent light installation for York Art Gallery, which communicates changes in weather conditions outside the gallery.
