Safety is a major concern for non-motorized traffic participants, such as cyclists, pedestrians or skaters. Due to their weak nature compared to cars, accidents often lead to serious implications. In this paper, we investigate how additional protection can be achieved with wearable displays attached to a person's arm, leg or back. Different to prior work, we present an extensive study on design considerations for wearable displays in traffic. Based on interviews, experiments, and an online questionnaire with more than 100 participants, we identify potential placements, form factors, and use-cases. These findings enabled us to develop a wearable display system for traffic safety, called beSeen. It can be attached to different parts of the human body, such as arms, legs, or the back. Our device unobtrusively recognizes turn indication gestures, braking, and its placement on the body. We evaluate beSeen's performance and show that it can be reliably used for enhancing traf fic safety

“…Spectacles, a promising work of Ferscha and Vogl (2010) presents a modular, autonomous, wireless display platform for integration with eyeglass frames. The Spectacles platform is used primarily to present some interesting outdoor applications, such as a sport use‐case in which Spectacles shows trail ascents and descents, cardinal directions, approaching waypoints and a cyclist's heart rate.…”

PurposeThe aim of this paper is to present an architecture and prototypical implementation of a context‐sensitive software system which combines the tangible user interface approach with a mobile augmented reality (AR) application.Design/methodology/approachThe work which is described within this paper is based on a creational approach, which means that a prototypical implementation is used to gather further research results. The prototypical approach allows performing ongoing tests concerning the accuracy and different context‐sensitive threshold functions.FindingsWithin this paper, the implementation and practical use of tangible user interfaces for outdoor selection of geographical objects is reported and discussed in detail.Research limitations/implicationsFurther research is necessary within the area of context‐sensitive dynamically changing threshold functions, which would allow improving the accuracy of the selected tangible user interface approach.Practical implicationsThe practical implication of using tangible user interfaces within outdoor applications should improve the usability of AR applications.Originality/valueDespite the fact that there exist a multitude of research results within the area of gesture recognition and AR applications, this research work focuses on the pointing gesture to select outdoor geographical objects.

“…Many digital displays already surround us, from wall‐mounted public displays to personal displays of wearable devices and domestic hardware. These, along with sensors enabling to access information about users around and the state of the physical environment, will form the basis of a general user‐centric infrastructure for the release of adaptive information services (Sippl et al , 2010; Ferscha and Vogl, 2010; Rosi et al , 2010). That is, users will finally take full advantage of such displays, being no longer passive subjects of what the displays show, but rather having the displayed information be specifically tuned to their own situations and needs. Real‐time traffic control .…”

Purpose-Emerging pervasive computing scenarios require open service frameworks promoting situated and self-adaptive behaviors, and supporting diversity in services and long-term evolvability. This suggests adopting a nature-inspired approach, where pervasive services are modeled and deployed as autonomous individuals in an ecosystem of other services, data sources, and pervasive devices. However, there are many possibly nature-inspired metaphors that can be adopted, and choosing one may require a careful analysis of the pros and cons of the different metaphors. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the key requirements and desiderata for next generation pervasive computing services and associated infrastructures. Design/methodology/approach-In this paper, the authors introduce and critically analyze a number of natural metaphors that can be adopted to realize these concepts and survey relevant proposals in the area. Findings-The key result of this survey is that a uniform reference architecture can be a useful guide when framing the challenges involved in the design and implementation of future self-adaptive pervasive service ecosystems. Originality/value-The survey in this paper, along with the proposed reference architecture, can be effective starting points towards the definition and implementation of general-purpose nature-inspired pervasive service ecosystems.
