StickySpots is currently designed to look like a bulletin board. It allows household members to create and colour simple handwritten notes through a pen-based Note Editor, reflecting the manner in which people already leave messages (via pen and paper). Notes appear in a random arrangement on the display, but people can move them around as desired by dragging them. Touching the note shows when it was sent and where from. Notes are opened to a larger size by double tapping, and replies are easily added and sent. Web links and small images can be included within a note via the icons on the screen’s left. The colour of a note is chosen by the sender, and thus can be used to communicate anything the household chose. New notes have a soft halo to indicate their status so household members can easily see changes. A person can send messages to an actual location (living room TV) or to other person in location. These messages then appear on any display close to that person.
