This paper describes the outcome of the research on the new interaction by the visual contents of an entrance intercom system. It had not been equipped with a graphics devise in the past. We tried to provide a display devise on it and invent new usage of the intercom system. The experimental interface was created on Apple's iPhone, and the visual contents for the intercom communication were implemented by iOS SDK. The ideas of contents were invented from the viewpoint of universal design, security, and entertainment. In our experiment we demonstrated how new intercom system worked for users, and then asked participants their impressions through questionnaire. It became clear that a larger screen size gave many users pleasure and interest. Finally we could find the growth potential of the visual contents on an entrance intercom system and get some ideas for future challenge.
