“…There are many research approaches that can be characterized as developing means of interacting with information technology without requiring fore grounded objects e.g Ambient computing (45), Whole Body Interaction (29), gestural interfaces (72) and wearable computing (85). This makes attempts to understand a context through observation much more difficult.…”

Understanding contexts is an important challenge that is made harder for designers by the increasing speed at which contexts change. To assist designers, three types of contextual dynamism are distinguished: physical, ontological and social. To inform understanding ontological dynamism and social dynamism, "social contraptions" -a form of socially interactive design experimentation is proposed. This paper focuses on cryanic social contraptions in which unseen users interact through a human surrogate that they guide via radio transmissions. Observations from initial trials are reported along with a discussion of themes arising for design and an appraisal of this approach's potential as a design tool.

“…Wearable computers are any devices that can be worn on the body. There is no specific definition of wearable computers, but they can be defined by their distinct characteristics [9]. Rhodes in 1997 and Hendrik Witt in 2008 defined wearable computers by describing many of their properties, such as portability, limited capability, context awareness, operational constancy, and hands-free or limited use of hands.…”

“…The first report on a wearable computer was authored by Thad Starner in 1995 and was called "The Cyborgs are Coming" [9]. His concern was with wearable computer interfaces, and he identifies two main characteristics: persistence and constancy [9]. Persistence describes the permanent availability of wearable computers and the ability to use them while simultaneously performing other tasks.…”

“…In 1998, Professor Kevin Warwick implemented a sensor embedded in the median nerves of his left arm [9]. This work has been applied to controlling a wheelchair and an artificial hand by measuring transmitted signal and creating artificial sensors through electrodes on the arm.…”

“…Wearable computing is not an independent research area; research questions from different disciplines must be raised depending on the goal of a study. As shown in Figure 1, the three significant fields that contribute to wearable computing are computer science, electrical engineering, and psychology [9]. Artificial intelligence, human-computer interaction (HCI), and hardware design are branches of computer science.…”

A Review of Wrist-Worn Wearable: Sensors, Models, and Challenges

2018

Wearable technology impacts the daily life of its users. Wearable devices are defined as devices embedded within clothes, watches, or accessories. Wrist-worn devices, as a type of wearable devices, have gained popularity among other wearable devices. They allow quick access to vital information, and they are suitable for many applications. This paper presents a comprehensive survey of wearable computing as a research field and provides a systematic review of recent work specifically on wrist-worn wearables. The focus of this research is on wrist-worn wearable studies because there is a lack of systematic literature reviews related to this area. This study reviewed journal and conference articles from 2015 and 2017 with some studies from 2014 and 2018, resulting in a selection of 54 studies that met the selection criteria. The literature showed that research in wrist-worn wearables spans three domains, namely, user interface and interaction studies, user studies, and activity/affect recognition studies. Our study then concludes with challenges and open research directions.
