The Personal Server: Personal Content for Situated Displays
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Personal Server is a small, lightweight, and easy-to-use device that supports personal mobile applications. Instead of relying on a small mobile display, the Personal Server enables seamless interaction with situated displays in the nearby environment. The current prototype is supported by emerging storage, processing, and communication technologies. Because it is carried by the user and does not require data to be either hosted in the local infrastructure or retrieved from a remote web-site, it provides a platform that increases users’ control over their personal data. Furthermore, it enables additional novel applications, such as a personal location history, that would not be appropriate for the computing infrastructure.
