environment.

System layout for the Memory Assistant
The Memory Assistant tool employs a novel approach to object tracking
with the goal of helping people with slight to moderate memory loss
keep track of important objects placed around their home. Such memory
difficulties are a significant issue in the aging population, and a
major factor contributing to institutionalization of people who might,
with modest human and machine assistance, be able to live on their own
for a substantial additional period. The tool has been implemented in
a model "smart home" that is part of the Center for Future Health at
the University of Rochester. It has been shown to work robustly with
a small collection of ordinary 3D objects with multiple cameras
surveying multiple rooms.
