The goal of the Memory Glasses project is to produce a proactive
context-aware reminder system that is sufficiently powerful, flexible,
ergonomic, reliable, and useful to be a genuine tool for managing the
complexity of daily life. Our work to date is only one step in this
direction, but if we can accomplish our goals, the technology
developed for the Memory Glasses project could be an invaluable aid to
ordinary people as well as those with significant short-term memory
problems, such as early-stage Alzheimer's patients and many graduate
students.
