Where are my glasses?: An object location system within the home(Link)

Abstract

“Assisted living” refers to technologies and techniques that support elderly or disabled people in their homes. As the percentage of elderly people in the population increases, the economic and social importance of such systems increases. One common experience of aging is the increasing difficulty of remembering exactly where household objects are located. The aim of this work is to propose a system to support the location of easily-lost (“losable”) objects) in a dynamic home environment.
