Collective connected Humanistic Intelligence

Lookpainting provides more than just personal photographic/videographic memory and real-time ``Wearable Wireless Webcam'' style telepresence. Because the system is a fully functional networked computer, it also facilitates a new form of interaction. For example, while shopping at the grocery store, a spouse may not only visit (through the affordances and capabilities of Wearable Wireless Webcam as illustrated in Fig 14) but may also interact with the wearer, such as by pointing at objects with a shared cursor. For example, a remote spouse may point to the milk to indicate a preference, or select fruits and vegetables over the wireless link. In this way, the capabilities of these shared environment maps are quite similar to the shared transparent whiteboard spaces of computer-supported cooperative work [33][34], except that the proposed methodology overlays the shared ``work'' space on the real world and the apparatus is wearable, wireless, and covert. Furthermore, typical uses of the apparatus are characterized by the domain of ordinary living (e.g. shopping, banking, or walking home late at night), rather than just ``working''. Thus this new form of interaction is best described as computer supported collaborative living (CSCL), or simply computer supported collaboration.
