Cooperative Artefact Memory -- application(s)

"Space is a resource that must be managed, much like time, memory, and energy. When we use space well we can often bring the time and memory demands of our tasks down to workable levels. We can increase the reliability of execution, and the number of jobs we can handle at once..

David Kirsh [9]

Space and spatial arrangements play an important role in our everyday social interactions. The way we use and manage our surrounding space is not coincidental, on the contrary, it is the way we think, plan and act. Within collaborative contexts, its ability to support social activities makes space an important component of human cognition in the post-cognitive era.

I have developed a mobile phone based system called Cooperative Artefact Memory (CAM). CAM allows co-designers to store relevant information onto their physical objects in the form of messages, annotations and external web links. The main purpose of CAM is to support collaboration amongst a group of co-workers.

Here is a short video about how CAM work: www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_sUImLGsA0

We would like to invite student to develop new ideas to extent the existing work.
