LifeNet -- Mark Lucente
LifeNet
The Life Networking Project's objective is to develop new applications
of Information Technology (IT) for use in an individual's or family's
personal space. By beginning the design of every device and interaction
with the human user, LifeNet seeks
to enhance
the experience of communicating (email/vmail), controlling home and
entertainment functions, and accessing electronic commerce (CD offers,
vacation planning, etc.) Through a combination of pleasing visual
presentation and
natural interaction
(e.g., speech, gesture, conversation),
the user can
check messages, display television listings, select from online audio
and video catalogs, and monitor the Family's electronic choreboard.
LifeNet seeks to minimize transcription of data from device to device,
viewing the collection of devices as a networked system rather than
focusing on individual devices.
