ABSTRACT

Wearable computers have the potential to see as the user sees, hear as the user hears, and experience the life of the user from his or her perspective. They are also physically and mentally more intimate with the user than are other kinds of computers and they may be used for extended periods of time, allowing a unique opportunity to model users’ usage patterns and habits. This increase in user and environmental information can lead to more intelligent and fluid interfaces that incorporate the physical world.
