An Industrial Case Study on Wearable Computing
نویسندگان
چکیده
Wearable computing means a paradigm shift: instead of working at the computer users are supported by computing systems in their primary tasks. Currently wearable computing is still a technology of niches and in a laboratory stage. However, with wearIT@work a project dedicated to applications was launched by the European Commission (EC IP 004216). The first 30 months of this project are over and industrial demonstrators, evaluations and results are available. In this paper we present results from industrial case studies in two of the four application domains, namely production and maintenance, with a newly designed wearable user interface.
