- In this paper we describe the design and implementation
of the AreWeThereYet? (AWTY) Player - a (digital)
audio player that composes a program of audio media that
is extremely likely to fit within the user's available
listening time. AWTY uses time compression and track
selection techniques to help the listener make more
efficient use of their time. More importantly, it possesses
an awareness of the listener's temporal context. It forms
an estimate of the available listening time and uses this
prediction to compose a playlist of a suitable length. We
hope that this research prototype will inspire others to
further investigate the ways in which temporally aware
computing might be employed.
