Affective Computing
Research into affective or wearable computing at the MIT Media Lab.
Affective Wearables
An ``affective wearable'' is a wearable system equipped with sensors and tools which enables recognition of its wearer's affective patterns.
Biocybernetics
Technologies are emerging in which sensing bio-electric signals (from eye, muscle and brain activity) are used to interface with computers. This type of research may facilitate wearable computing by making it easier to interact with your computer freeing the hands.
Contrasting paradigms for the development of wearable computing
Current applications of wearable computers are reviewed and categorized according to dimensions of "time" and "reference. Authors: C. Baber, D. J. Haniff, and S. I. Woolley.
Digital Processing of Affective Signals
Affective signal processing algorithms were developed to allow a digital computer to recognize the affective state of a user who is intentionally expressing that state.
Eudaemonic Eye
Personal Imaging and wearable computing as result of deconstructing HCI; towards greater creativity and self-determination.
Matchbox web server and PC
Stanford's wearable lab has created a matchbox sized web server and PC. The matchbox PC is 2.8"x1.8"x0.95" which makes it easily wearable.
A New Affect-Perceiving Interface and Its Application to Personalized Music Selection
Instead of asking the user to continuously select preferences from a menu, the affective wearable gets to know its wearer's preferences by recognizing and responding to signals that carry emotional information.
Nomadic Radio: A Spatialized Audio Environment for Wearable Computing
This paper explores the use of auditory I/O as a primary interaction modality for wearable computing.
Smart Clothing: The " Wearable Computer" and WearCam...
Smart people, underwear, glasses and shoes.
StartleCam: A Cybernetic Wearable Camera
StartleCam is a wearable video camera, computer, and sensing system, which enables the camera to be controlled via both conscious and preconscious events involving the wearer.
Wearable Audio Computing: A Survey of Interaction Techniques
This paper surveys a range of interaction techniques which may be applied to the design of wearable audio computers.
A Wearable Computer for Use in Microgravity Space and Other Non-Desktop Environments
Research into wearable computers with wrist mounted keyboards and display.
Wearables in Medecine
Uses of wearable computers for paramedics and surgeons are examined.
Wireless Wearable Keyboard
By attaching ring shaped sensors on each finger, many commands or characters can be input by finger-tip typing action. "FingeRing" can be used on any typing surface such as a knee or desk, so quick operation is realized in any situation while standing or walking.
