Not really an aiosphere project because of the bandwidth, but worth mentioning.  eStarling makes some cheap wifi picture frames that you can even email pics to.  Such a system is a great foundation for intriguing time-based systems.  A remote cam somewhere, set up to periodically send an image to the frame, makes a wonderful real-time window onto another place in the world.  Imagine a gallery of frames, all windows onto other places in the world?

I imagine outdoor shots, so it could get complex and expensive.  But to test such a system, why not use Panasonic’s low-cost net cam, which can email pics?

A text-based aio similar to a digital picture frame, with hefty onboard processing, receives and your friend’s twitter posts as individual quotes, rendered as if it were a traditional needlepoint sampler.

Mood Tap is a fantastic idea, and a very excellent FireFox addon. Unfortunately, the project, and especially the addon, seems to be long dead. Still, the extension taps into the site to render the mood of the world in the corner of your browser, and let you communicate your own mood back into the system. Nice!

Of course, best would be to see this on a little RGB-illuminated toy globe on your bookshelf.

I have been thinking for some time of a keychain device which could feed net info to the wearer while they are in the home.  Could as easily be a pin/brooch/ring.  This silly product line makes no sense to me, honestly seems like a hige waste of resources, but at least they have created a zigbee keychain interface, which is very cool.
