Abstract

With seven-league boots through the Internet - when you take a stroll through the physical world in this wireless LAN footwear, you might meet people who happen to be spending some time in a chat-room. Their virtual conversations are made audible as spoken text coming out of the boots. The piece Seven Mile Boots augments reality by introducing a new layer of communication to an everyday task: spoken chat. Virtual crowds are met equipped with an intentionally basic interface.
