Abstract
This paper briefly describes a series of messaging applications for wearable and ubiquitous computing. The goal of these applications is to support location-aware messaging across a variety of devices and access media, in a manner which is transparent to message originators and congurable by the recipient. Location awareness includes learning which messages should be sent to which device’s address as a function of location, and delivery of location-specific information when coupled with position derived from the GPS system. We explore a number of issues in alerting and message access via speech user interfaces, as they are appropriate when the user is busy driving or paying attention to other activities in daily life.
