Abstract
A computer-implemented method is provided for representing an environment having at least one aspect. The method includes representing the aspects in an activity map comprising at least two perspectives, and representing a state of a user within the environment as a tangible link between each perspective. The state of the user includes user activity within the environment. The method further includes the step of dynamically incorporating the state of the user in the activity map. The tangible link is a tangible cue which associates perspectives represented by the activity map.
