Today's computers serve mainly as tools for manipulating digital information, but are not designed for making our physical world more comfortable. I am interested in designing a new human computer interaction style based on highly personalized portable computers and environmentally embedded computers. These computers will be aware of our physical environment and thus more real world oriented rather computation oriented. Under such an environment, we will be able to concentrate on real world tasks that are constantly augmented by the computer's information. I expect that such computers will be as commonplace as today's eyeglasses and wristwatches, and will be seamlessly integrated into our daily lives.
