Recent advances in information and communication technology opened the perspective of embedding “intelligence” in a number of components of our home, transforming it into a kind of multi-functional robot, usually referred to as “smart-home”. Leaving apart an excess of technology that probably we don’t want in our everyday life, a number of potential facilities exist that could effectively incre...

The widespread use of power wheelchairs has greatly increased the requirements for accessibility of buildings and other architectural structures to handicapped persons. In addition, recent advances in microcomputer technology have made possible increasingly sophisticated power wheelchair interfaces, such as halo, puff and sip, and muscle control mechanisms, which can provide mobility for an eve...

Wearable technology is a new genre of technology that is appearing to enhance learning in context. This manuscript introduces a Google Glass application to support Inquiry-based Learning (IBL). Applying Google Glass to IBL, we aim to transform the learning process into a more seamless, personal and meaningful learning experience. Google Glass aids users from a first person perspective with hand...
