چکیده
The evolution of Wearable Computers is making it possible for wearers to move and interact freely with the world with nearly invisible technology embedded into clothing. Our aim is to create technology that is not just in clothing but on the skin surface as removable and hidden electronics. In this paper, we introduce the term ‘Beauty technology’ as an emerging field in Wearable Computing that hides electronic components within beauty products. This work outlines the technology used to hide electronic components in eyelashes, make-up, tattoos and nails, and it presents examples of the use of Beauty Technology in everyday beauty products.

DIVAs includes high-level abstractions for the definition of agents and open environments, a microkernel for the management of the simulation workflow, domain-specific libraries for the rapid development of simulations, and r...
متن کاملEmploying narratives to trigger interest in computational activities with inner-city girls
While women use technology to mediate numerous aspects of their professional and personal lives, few are actively involved in designing and creating the computational devices and software programs they use on a daily basis. The decline in the number of women in computer science and engineering courses is well documented at each level of advancement, and disparities are greater when considering ...

Managing and reusing knowledge can lead to greater competitive advantage, and improved designs. However, design knowledge reuse often fails in the AEC (Architect, Engineering, and Construction) industry. We performed an ethnographic study to investigate the current practice of the shop drawing detailing and review process. Our observations show that most of the design and detailing knowledge am...
