The Locust infrared system provides inexpensive messaging and location
information without batteries and without its own network.
The system is
``privacy aware'' in that it supplies information to the wearable computer user
who can then control how much of this information is shared with others or the
installed infrastructure. By combining the abilities of Locusts with an
appropriately equipped wearable computer, the user can interact with web-like
hyperlinks, graphics, and sounds virtually associated with objects in the
physical world. In addition the user can annotate and change these links as
desired.
