making location and action context tractable

Several different strategies could be used to sense and classify the location and action context needed for the Memory Glasses application. For the prototype MIThril implementation, we chose to use a tag-based approach that allows the sensing of both location and interacting-with-person-X context. This tag-based approach has the advantages of being simple to implement, low-power, reliable, and computationally inexpensive. The disadvantage is that it requires that all interior locations, objects, and people of interest be tagged.
