“…The skin conductance (SC) is a function f(s) of electrical changes s of the skin as a result of sweat. These sensors measure the electrodermal activity (EDA) as it grows higher during states such as interest, attention or nervousness and lower during states such as relaxation or boredom (equation 1), depending on the task the user is involved in (Ugur, 2013).…”

PurposeDetecting emotion on user experience of web applications and browsing is important in many ways. Web designers and developers find such approach quite useful in enhancing navigational features of webpages, and biomedical personnel regularly use computer simulations to monitor and control the behaviour of patients. On the other hand, law enforcement agents rely on human physiological functions to determine the likelihood of falsehood in interrogations. Quite often, online user experience is studied via tangible measures such as task completion time, surveys and comprehensive tests from which data attributes are generated. Prediction of users' emotion and behaviour in some of these cases depends mostly on task completion time and number of clicks per given time interval. However, such approaches are generally subjective and rely heavily on distributional assumptions making the results prone to recording errors.Design/methodology/approachThe authors propose a novel method-a window dynamic control system that addresses the foregoing issues. Primary data were obtained from laboratory experiments during which forty-four volunteers had their synchronised physiological readings, skin conductance response (SCR), skin temperature (ST), eye movement behaviour and users’ activity attributes taken using biosensors. The window-based dynamic control system (PHYCOB I) is integrated to the biosensor which collects secondary data attributes from these synchronised physiological readings and uses them for two purposes. For both detection of optimal emotional responses and users' stress levels. The method's novelty derives from its ability to integrate physiological readings and eye movement records to identify hidden correlates on a webpage.FindingsResults show that the control system detects basic emotions and outperforms other conventional models in terms of both accuracy and reliability, when subjected to model comparison that is, the average recoverable natural structures for the three models with respect to accuracy and reliability are more consistent within the window-based control system environment than with the conventional methods.Research limitations/implicationsThe paper is limited to using a window control system to detect emotions on webpages, while integrated to biosensors and eye-tracker.Originality/valueThe originality of the proposed model is its resistance to overfitting and its ability to automatically assess human emotion (stress levels) while dealing with specific web contents. The latter is particularly important in that it can be used to predict which contents of webpages cause stress-induced emotions to users when involved in online activities.

“…Wearables have been further classified by the IEC Standardization Group 10 as near-body, on-body, or in-body wearables according to their location, distance, and contacted area of the user body (IEC, 2019). Similarly, it can be categorized based on the virtual or physical means of human body extensions: prosthetic, handheld, wearable, or implanted types (Ugur, 2013). In most cases, smart clothing system can be defined as the physical range of wearables in combination with virtual extension, where IoT and digital connection play a major role.…”

As smart clothing is being increasingly recognized as a strong contender in future wearables, with its flexible and comfortable interface becoming more accessible to people, fashion also has been successfully orienting itself as the next game-changer in wearable technology through its connection to a wide range of design, lifestyle, and functionality with its scalability. This chapter introduces the currently available wearables in the fashion industry for varied symbolic, aesthetic, cultural, or functional purposes and the projects concerning smart clothing and soft wearable robot for future living with the enhanced comfort of the wearer. The chapter also discusses the future of wearable technology in the fashion industry.

“…The sensation is felt as a haptic vibration on the wrist and visualised as pulsating pink light emanating from beneath a row of white plumes of ostrich feathers on the outer arm of each gauntlet 1 . 'Connected intimacy' also describes data streamed care, where 'body sensor networks are embedded into garments and track bodily data in order to sustain healthier lives' [20]. Many examples of human to human devices are already on the market including a recent proliferation of wristbands that monitor health and provide instant personal information often combined with connected medical advice or care.…”

This article envisages objects and materials in terms of actants (entities that have the ability to modify other entities). Things are temporary assemblages of vibrant matter in emergent systems. In the context of human computer interaction, a flat ontology enables a discussion of 'counterconsciousness' where a traditional interface 'user' is better described as a 'coproducer' and, further, materials and objects are crafted with an appreciation of their life beyond the conscious realm of the human perspective. Proposing tactics that engage with physical and electronic realms, this article promulgates vibrant matter as artistic media to sculpt creative experiences. We are glimpsing the periphery of a paradigm shift in our understanding of the world, in ways that are no longer static but dynamic, where change is ubiquitous but never predetermined. Wearable tangible interfaces are central to the shift that will profoundly affect the way we interact in societies of the future.
