Openwings - Consumer Vision
“Your World, Your Stuff, All the Time”
Consumers today have a wide variety of personal electronics devices and
services available to them. These devices operate independently and typically in
isolation. Users have devices and services at home, at work, and in their cars - wherever
they go. We lead many separate digital lives.
New technologies such as broadband Internet technologies,
wireless ad-hoc networking technologies, and discovery technologies are poised to
dramatically change how we interact with our digital and physical worlds. However, each of
us struggles with our own personal version of the "digital divide" - our digital
world is divided into many isolated islands of information and services. |

The information and programs on your computer at home aren’t
accessible from work. The contacts are all different on your cell phone, PDA,
work PC, and home PC. The price comparison information that is at your fingertips on
the Web, is unavailable when you are actually out shopping. Directions to the piano
teacher on your home computer are useless when you are lost in your car. |
The personal digital divide severely limits how we can use
the things we buy. We carry around a few CDs with music on them, even though we have
large CD collections or digital collections of music at our homes.
The personal digital divide limits our communications with others. When a recipe
comes up in conversation at the mall, it can’t be exchanged when it is on a computer
at home. That URL a friend wanted to see is on a bookmark at work. |

What if the digital information and services you owned were available to
you anywhere? What if your cell phone could get a contact off your computer at home
or PDA? What if you could collaborate with others at any time and exchange digital
information? What if your digital world was not divided? What could be
possible in such a world? |
The vision is “Your World, Your Stuff, All the Time”. Openwings enables
this vision through a unified approach to the latest service-oriented technology, to allow
users to interact with services located anywhere, wherever they are: at home, at work, or
on the road.
