Smart Phone Suggests Things to Do
November 13, 2007 | Source: Technology Review
Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) researchers have developed intelligent software that turns a phone into a thoughtful personal assistant that helps people find fun things to do.
The Magitti software uses a combination of cues–including the time of day, a person’s location, their past behaviors, and even their text messages–to infer their interests. It then shows a helpful list of suggestions, including concerts, movies, bookstores, and restaurants.
