A work surface 1 is disposed in a horizontal plane to function as a desk or conference table, and incorporates a visual display device 10 controlled by a computer 9. The surface of the display device 10 includes a movement sensor 12 monitoring the area above the display device, or touch-sensitive devices in the work surface 1 itself. An audio system 80, 81, 82, provides speech recognition facilities to identify comands uttered by the users, voice recognition to identify individual speakers, and spatialisation so that the system can identify the approximate location of each individual user in relation to the work surface. This allows the computer 9 to allocate part of the workspace 1 and of the associated display 10 to each user present. The display may therefore be arranged to present a number of display areas appropriate to the number of users currently present, and their relative positions relative to the work surface 1. <IMAGE> |
