CubeLendar is an interactive calendar in the form of a cube, which provides an overview of the events, weather, time, and date. It is a computer device that integrates an attractive design and exploits rotation as an interaction technique to access different types of information presented on each side of the cube. CubeLendar is aimed to notify about calendar events via light and represent potential situations for spontaneous communication with remote co-workers. Moreover, due to its appealing design CubeLendar nicely integrates into the office environment as a pleasant enhancement. In this paper, we outline the design concept of CubeLendar, hardware design, and first usability feedback. In our future research we aim to extend the feedback modalities for our CubeLendar prototype and build a network of such awareness devices to facilitate spontaneous communication in spatially distributed groups.
