Abstract

The Kimura system augments and integrates independent tools into a pervasive computing system that monitors a user's interactions with the computer, an electronic whiteboard, and a variety of networked peripheral devices and data sources. The system draws from several physical sensors distributed throughout the office. This combination of virtual and physical context drives the creation of activity representations, or montages, on a wall-size peripheral displayýthe electronic whiteboard.
