Abstract:
 The self-organizing desk is a system that enhances a physical
 desk-top with electronic information. It can remember, organize,
 update, and manipulate the information contained in the documents on a
 desk. The system consists of a simple robot eye that can survey
 the desk, a module for smart extraction of information from the images
 taken by the robot, a module for representing this information in
 multiple views, and a module that allows a user to interact with this
 information.
