This Small Business Innovation Research Phase II project addresses the challenge of seamless interoperability among computer systems and user interface components such as displays and keyboards. Such components today are tightly coupled with the computer, which restricts the utility of both especially in mobile systems, where users invariably have to choose between usable displays and reasonable portability. The system being separates I/O devices from computing devices enabling a different mode of use of computers where a user can carry around much smaller computing devices and use shared larger I/O devices as available.. The design and implementation of these enhancements will be guided by feedback from users of prototypes deployed in the field. In the long run, the widespread adoption of this approach has the potential to revolutionize the way humans interact with computers, by allowing computing devices to shrink out of sight, while freeing interfaces from the constraints of portability. The technology has immediate commercial applications in health care and mobile computing as well, these markets will be explored through future strategic partnerships.

这个小型企业创新研究第二阶段项目解决了计算机系统和用户界面组件（如显示器和键盘）之间无缝互操作性的挑战。如今，这样的组件与计算机紧密耦合，这限制了两者的实用性，特别是在移动的系统中，其中用户总是必须在可用的显示器和合理的便携性之间进行选择。 该系统将I/O设备与计算设备分离，从而实现计算机的不同使用模式，其中用户可以随身携带小得多的计算设备，并使用可用的共享的较大I/O设备。 这些改进的设计和实施将以实地部署的原型用户的反馈为指导。 从长远来看，这种方法的广泛采用有可能彻底改变人类与计算机交互的方式，允许计算设备缩小到看不见的地方，同时将界面从便携性的限制中解放出来。 该技术在医疗保健和移动的计算方面也有直接的商业应用，这些市场将通过未来的战略合作伙伴关系进行探索。
