The model provides users with a workspace to gather, create, and organize information necessary for each of their activities. It records a series of workspace snapshots to represent the progress of an activity. Through experiments we observed that the snapshot mechanism reduces the mental barrier associated with deleting information. This leads users to represent the current state of the task more clearly. Further, we observed a novel information management strategy, which uses the time dimension, in addition to spatial dimensions.","PeriodicalId":263696,"journal":{"name":"CHI '99 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing Systems","volume":"125 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121091786","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Windows have several properties which make them well-suited to unobtrusive display including their transparency, their positive associations for people and natural peripheral use by them, and their nature as a clean and pleasing interface between spaces. We have initially explored the display of graphical weather forecasts, of activity in the space outside the window, and of historical images of the space outside the window, to augment users' sense of spatial and temporal context in their daily lives.","PeriodicalId":263696,"journal":{"name":"CHI '99 Extended Abstracts on Human Factors in Computing Systems","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125345083","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many of us receive large quantities of email or voice mail messages. Yet many of these messages are relevant only in a particular context. We can use a system of reminders to keep up with all we have to do, but these reminders are often relevant only to a specific location. If reminders, to-do lists, messages and other information were delivered in the most timely and relevant context, part of the overload would be reduced.
