Hey all,

Sorry for the extremely late notice on this. Part of it was due to a
little confusion over which paper I wanted you to read; part of it was
just me being me (i.e., late).

Tuesday's papers give a brief look at context awareness and voice-only
applications. I'll be talking about Savoir, a project I'm working on
(originally prototyped by Anind Dey and Lara Catledge) that gives
voice-only access to e-mail, news, weather reports, stock quotes, etc.
I'm currently working on using position and orientation data to enhance
the ability of the voice-recognition system in doing it's job. We'll be
talking about the basics of this project as well as the basics of
voice-recognition and what context means and can do in this area.

The papers are:

"Context Awareness in Wearable and Ubiquitous Computing"
~abowd/papers/wearable/context.ps

and

"MailCall: Message Presentation and Navigation in a Nonvisual Environment"
www.acm.org/sigchi/chi96/proceedings/papers/Marx/mtm_txt.htm

I've also put 5 or so copies of each paper outside Gregory's door.

--Rob
