Reminder tools allow users to associate information with time-based alarms. However, in many cases space rather than time may be appropriate to trigger reminders. A wearable artifact, the MemoClip (a small clip), reminds a user of things he should do depending on where he is. A user can associate information to be remembered with a description of a location, download it onto the MemoClip, and then gets notified accordingly when entering the selected location. The project researches how user can be reduce cognitive load using novel types of reminder systems and researches selected topics of hardware and communication protocols - namely ultra-low power location beacons and location beacon communication protocols.
