Physical Markup Language

[xoxoxoBruce]

Phillips has come up with a way the change the ambiance of your room depending on what book your reading AND what page you're on.

To make this possible, besides a physical infrastructure, you need standard descriptions and protocols that enable you to describe experiences and interprete them in terms of appropriate effects within the network of devices - rather like HTML encodes the features of the Web pages that our browser then interprets for us and presents on the screen. The framework of rules would need to be flexible enough to cope with the variety and complexity of the real world and the personal attributes of the individuals undergoing the experience. For this purpose, Philips has developed a common language for describing eperiences within an Ambient Intelligence environment: Physical Markup Language (PML).

I wonder if it will turn your house into a brothel if you are doin' it?
What if you're gaming? Dungeons and dragons? Watching wrestling?
