==Education and early life==
When Hauser was 16 he went to the United Kingdom to learn English at a language school in [[Cambridge]].<ref name="chm">{{citation|title=Oral History of Hermann Hauser|publisher=Computer History Museum|author=Gardner Hendrie|date=2014-06-20|url=http://archive.computerhistory.org/resources/access/text/2015/04/102739951-05-01-acc.pdf|access-date=2016-01-01}}</ref> After a master's degree in Physicsphysics from [[Vienna University]],<ref name="whoswho"/> he returned to [[King's College, Cambridge]] to do a PhD in Physicsphysics at the [[Cavendish Laboratory]].<ref name="whoswho"/><ref name="hauserphd"/>
 
==Career==
Hauser is probably best known for his part in setting up [[Acorn Computers]] with [[Christopher Curry (businessman)|Chris Curry]] in 1978. When [[Olivetti]] took control of Acorn in 1985<ref>{{cite web | url= http://www.computinghistory.org.uk/det/5852/Olivetti-buy-49-of-Acorn-Computers/ | title=Olivetti buy 49% of Acorn Computers
| publisher=Computing History | access-date=15 April 2010}}</ref> he became vice-president for research at Olivetti, in charge of laboratories in the US and Europe. In 1986, Hauser co-founded the [[Olivetti Research Laboratory]] (ORL) in Cambridge with [[Andy Hopper]], who became the laboratory's director. Hauser's role in Acorn was portrayed by [[Edward Baker-Duly]] in the [[BBC]] drama ''[[Micro Men]]''.<ref>{{IMDb title|1459467qid=Q4044199|title=Micro Men (TV 2009)}}</ref><ref>{{cite web | url= http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00n5b92 | title=BBC Four Programmes Micro Men | workpublisher=BBC| access-date=15 April 2010}}</ref>
 
In 1988, Hauser left Olivetti to start the Active Book Company, investing £1 million of his own money.<ref>{{cite news |title=Active Book Prototype Circuit Boards -– Peripheral -– Computing History |url=http://www.computinghistory.org.uk/det/21617/Active-Book-Prototype-Circuit-Boards/ |access-date=28 January 2022 |work=www.computinghistory.org.uk |publisher=Computing History}}</ref> The company sought to develop a portable ARM-based microcomputer "the size of a paperback book", featuring a screen and stylus for interaction and employing a "book" metaphor known as Hyperpage.<ref name="acornuser198909">{{ cite news | url=https://archive.org/details/AcornUser086-Sep89/page/n8/mode/1up | title=Hauser's Hyperpage | work=Acorn User | last1=Atack | first1=Carol | date=September 1989 | access-date=1 November 2020 | pages=7 }}</ref> The company planned to launch its first product after Christmas 1990, featuring an approximately A5-sized reflective display, automatic recognition of printed, as opposed to cursive, characters, and employing a multipurpose chip called Hercules featuring a static, low-power ARM core. A licensing agreement had been signed with Acorn for access to that company's hardware and software technology, and the company was seeking application developers for the platform.<ref name="acornuser199008_abc">{{ cite news | url=https://archive.org/details/AcornUser097-Aug90/page/n8/mode/1up | title=Xmas Launch for Active Books | work=Acorn User | date=August 1990 | access-date=6 May 2021 | pages=7 }}</ref> The Active Book was intended to cost around $2,000, provide eight to ten hours of battery life, and was to run the [[HeliOS|Helios operating system]].<ref name="infoworld19900820_abc">{{ cite magazine | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=CjwEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA5 | title=Active Book Plans to Offer Pen-Based Computer for Executives | magazine=InfoWorld | last1=Krohn | first1=Nico | date=20 August 1990 | access-date=9 April 2023 | pages=5 }}</ref> Not wanting to repeat the mistakes made by Acorn, which had kept its technology to itself, he demonstrated the Active Book to as many large companies as he could.
