Wearable Computing: Information and Communication Technology Supporting Mobile Workers

Keywords: Artificial Intelligence, computer applications, Ambient Intelligence, living labs, wearable user interfaces for mobile solutions

The terms “Ubiquitous Computing”, “Wearable Computing”, and “Ambient Intelligence” are discussed and it is shown that the methodology of Living Labs will be crucial to the success of Wearable Computing. Research problems such as energy supply and power management, wearable user interfaces, context detection, and user acceptance and usability are described and illustrated by examples taken from the EU Integrated Project wearIT@work showing how Living Labs are used introducing the technology in practice.
