>world-class companies - Acer, Delta Electronics, Hewlett Packard, 
>Nokia, NTT, and Philips - was formed in June 2000.  Since then, 
>researchers at MIT have worked actively
>on all aspects of Oxygen, sometimes in close collaboration with our Oxygen
>partners.  This has resulted in a number of accomplishments, some of which
>will be described  and demonstrated in this talk.  For example, a first
>generation Handy-21 has been produced through a collaboration among
>Compaq, Delta Electronics, MIT, and Philips.  The resulting 
>hand-held can perform a number of tasks, e.g., enabling device 
>personalization through face
>recognition, and accessing information via speech.  Meanwhile, a prototype
>Enviro-21 has been realized in the form of the Intelligent Room,
>consisting of cameras capable of tracking humans and objects, and 
>microphone arrays with beam forming capabilities to facilitate 
>un-tethered speech
>interactions for multiple people working collaboratively.  On the Net-21
>front, we have implemented a prototype version of a location support
>system, called Cricket, which allows users and applications to learn about
>the geographic space they are in.  We also developed an architecture for
>Internet host mobility, called Migrate, that uses dynamic updates to the
>Domain Name System (DNS) to track host location.  Finally, I  will also
