While proximity-based social networking is no substitute for conversation, it can be a fun icebreaker for mixers, parties, conventions, and anywhere people gather. There are also business applications for PXT: it is well-suited for meetings, conferences, tradeshows, and job fairs where business people can exchange contact information and details about their jobs, the companies that they represent, and their individual skills, education, and professional backgrounds. Assistive technology is another area where PXT may be helpful. The elderly and those with various cognitive, communication, and social impairments can use PXT Portal to convey details about their lives and their conditions to caregivers, friends, and loved ones. There are other medical uses too: PXT can provide information about existing conditions, prescriptions taken, known allergies to food and medications, and other health-related details.
Beta versions of PXT Probe and PXT Portal software for Windows Mobile devices are available for download from Zurado Systems at no charge. Downloads and the PXT social networking template can be found at http://www.zurado.com.
