The Situations Room
The Situations Room represents the bridge between groups of people and supercomputers (Society of Cognitive Agents) as outlined in the figure above. It includes two elements: a physical immersive environment- to allow human-scale interaction and a digital representation of the context of group activities, or the “mind-of-room”; the Situations Room is an integration between cognitive computing and immersive environments.
