Pervasive computing has the potential to improve our lives in many ways.
It can support augmented cognition and life-long memories: providing people
with ready access to pertinent information about themselves from their own data
stores will enable them to expand their effective cognition and knowledge
beyond what they would otherwise remember. Life-long learning is another
potential benefit, with the possibility that we can learn precisely when and
where we need to, with learning resources delivered just for us, taking account
of our existing knowledge and preferred ways of learning. To achieve such
benefits, we need to ensure users can control their personal data and its use
and we need to be able make that information available when and where people
need it.
CHAI is exploring personalisation that enables the user to scrutinise
and control the whole personalisation process. Another dimension of CHAI
research is in novel pervasive computing interfaces such as tabletop
interaction and pervasive appliances that are embedded in the
environment to serve very specific functions.
