Abstract:
 This thesis presents a self-organized file cabinet.  This file cabinet
 uses electronic information to augment the physical world.  By using a
 scanner to transform documents into electronic files, the
 self-organized file cabinet can index the documents on visual and
 textual information.  The self-organized file cabinet helps the user
 find the documents at a later date.  The focus of this thesis is on
 the design and evaluation of the self-organized file cabinet.  User
 studies show that this tool is natural to use.
