"Get the Message?"

Please send feedback to perspectives@

We use a wealth of advanced communications technologies to be constantly reachable by those we care about; but we'd prefer this accessibility without the ever-present junk mail and wrong numbers. This talk will focus on new solutions to this dilemma: dynamic message- filtering systems that use personal information to route "timely" messages via an appropriate channel; speech interfaces that allow remote, mobile access to messages; unobtrusive, audio wearable computers that allow graceful, adaptive, and location-specific alerting to incoming messages; and devices and interfaces for interacting with voice as data.
