Soft Wear
Public
Wearable computing facilitates a new form of human--computer interaction comprising a small body--worn computer (e.g. user--programmable device) that is always on and always ready and accessible. In this regard, the new computational framework differs from that of hand held devices, laptop computers and personal digital assistants (PDAs). The ``always ready'' capability leads to a new form of synergy between human and computer, characterized by long-term adaptation through constancy of user--interface.

Gartner's Interview with Thad Starner on wearable computingMy interest in wearable computing was purely self-motivated. I was going to MIT as an undergraduate and spending – I guess back then it was only $20,000 a year, and now it's much more – quite a lot of money on my education … and I was discovering that I wasn't remembering any of it. Either I ...

Note
BodyNetsNetworks of sensing, computing, and communication devices are increasingly being deployed as wearable, and even implantable, systems to form Body Area Networks (BodyNets). BodyNets allow for unidirectional (monitoring) and even bidirectional (effecting) interactions with subjects. BodyNets are ...
