The soldier patrol story is based on Thad Starner’s talk at CARPE 2006, but also borrow’s from other publications related to ASSIST. Special thanks to Daniel Ashbrook.

The wearable Remembrance Agent is hardware consisting of a one-handed chording keyboard with a heads-up display, along with radio and infrared receivers. Location is detected using radio location beacons and people are detected using infrared name badges. It runs note-taking software that selects old notes to show you based on your current location, people it detects around you, and the text of notes that you are presently writing. A desktop version of the Remembrance Agent operates within a text editor and brings up relevant items in a window based on what you are typing. A contextual retrieval application called Margin Notes has also been developed for Web browsing.
