Augmented Reality Through Wearable Computing
Wearable computing moves computation from the desktop to the user. We are forming a community of networked wearable computer users to explore, over a long period, the augmented realities that these systems can provide. By adapting its behavior to the user’s changing environment, a body-worn computer can assist the user more intelligently, consistently, and continuously than a desktop system. A ...
متن کاملSensory Augmented Computing: Wearing the Museum's Guide
A wearable computing device is much more than its desktop counterpart. It is rather like an intelligent assistant that always accompanies you and helps you solve everyday tasks. A key aspect of such devices is that they can operate autonomously and perceive the world as a human user does; without being fed manual input. They augment the user without encumbering him. A smart wearable computer se...
متن کاملI'm Here!: A Wearable Object Remembrance Support System
In this paper we propose a wearable vision interface system named “I’m Here!” to support a user’s remembrance of object location in everyday life. The system enables users to retrieve certain information from a video database that has recorded a set of the latest scenes of target objects which were held by the user and were observed from the users’ viewpoint. We propose the object recognition m...
متن کاملThe Investigation and Analysis of the Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats of Wearable Electronic Technologies: A Systematic Review
Introduction: Wearable electronic devices, which are based on Internet of Things (IoT) and big data computing, are able to continuously collect and process the physiological and environmental data and exchange them with other tools, users, and internet networks. Therefore, despite their potential benefits in health monitoring, they can pose serious risks, especially in breach of privacy. Hence...
