An aural user interface for ubiquitous computing

Ubiquitous computing systems make it possible for people to access computing resources whenever and from wherever they want. To take advantage of this capability, the user must be able to make queries, perform computations, and generally operate the system at times and in situations that may be incompatible with restrictions imposed by current interfaces. In this paper, we present a novel user interface, discuss its qualities, and compare and contrast it with existing methods.
