1 Wearable Computing Manuel Probst Barbara Schwarz

2 12. Juli 2006Seminar: Context-Aware Computing2 Content -Definition & scope -Placement & ergonomics -Implementation barriers -Applications -Further aspects -Outlook

3 12. Juli 2006Seminar: Context-Aware Computing3 Definition & Scope -Definition -External stimulus  useful reaction -Sensor- and Communication Technology -„First-Person“ sense -Scope -Wearable ≠ portable -Mobile Phones -PDA‘s

4 12. Juli 2006Seminar: Context-Aware Computing4 Placement & Ergonomics -On the user‘s body -In the user‘s clothes (smart clothing) -Implanted under the user‘s skin

5 12. Juli 2006Seminar: Context-Aware Computing5 Placement & Ergonomics -On the user‘s body -Placement -Form language -Human movement -Sizing -Weight Source: http://www.ices.cmu.edu/design/wearability

6 12. Juli 2006Seminar: Context-Aware Computing6 Placement & Ergonomics -In the user‘s clothes (smart clothing) -Already ergonomically designed  Suitability and comfort - Enormous potential in smart clothing

7 12. Juli 2006Seminar: Context-Aware Computing7 Implementation Barriers -Power supply -Batteries -Trade-off: storage vs. dimension/weight -Need for charge -Regenerative energy -Not (yet) able to generate enough energy -User himself ?

8 12. Juli 2006Seminar: Context-Aware Computing8 Implementation Barriers -Miniaturisation -Cross-linking -On-body communication -Wireless mostly  radiation -Off-body communication -Wireless (GSM, UMTS)  reachability

9 12. Juli 2006Seminar: Context-Aware Computing9 Applications -Fun-/Entertainment sector -Healthcare -Military sector -Logistic-/transportation sector -Construction sector
