Wi-Fi Walkman: A Wireless Handhold That Shares and Recommend Music on Peer-to-Peer Networks

Overview The Wi-Fi walkman is a new application that investigates the technological and usability aspects of human-computer interaction with personalized, intelligent and context-aware wearable devices in ad-hoc wireless environments such as the future home, office, or university campuses. It is a small handheld device with a wireless link that contains music content. Users carry their own walkman around and listen to music. All this music content can be shared using ad-hoc networking. The walkman naturally interacts with the users and it is situated in peer-to-peer environments.
