  2. A story…

  3. Motivation • During the course of a $timeperiod you have lots of interesting and novel ideas • If you don’t write these down there is a good chance you’ll forget them • In many situations it may be inconvenient to take out your notebook and pen • May wish to share notes with others in the conversation

  4. Our Solution • Mobile application to record notes (or microthoughts) • Automatically tag with time and location • Upload to a server when connection is available • Optionally share with nearby MicroThoughts users, or send to others

  5. Other Capabilities • Intuitive interfaces and visualizations for browsing / searching • Speech-to-text to extract tags • ThoughtCasts • Aural Graffiti • Geocoding • Many more…

  6. Challenges • Technical • Android SDK is poorly documented • The Android emulator is buggy • Usability • No physical device yet • Legal • There may be issues with recording conversations in a public setting

  7. Architecture

  8. Milestones Minimum Goal • Mobile prototype working on an emulated handset device • Pre-recorded audio to act as input • Browsing via mobile device • Manual tagging of notes Expected Goal • Coherent, extensible, and maintainable design • Live audio as input • GPS simulation for multiple users • Speech to text analysis to auto-tag notes • Advanced visualization tool(s) Reach Goal • Web driven interface for thought navigation • Multi-party ThoughtCast™ aggregation • Prototype running on a physical handset / generalization beyond Android • Location tracking via WhereAmI / GPS • Desktop web application with rich visualizations
