Interaction modelling for wearable assistive devices
Proceedings of the 9th ACM International Conference on PErvasive Technologies Related to Assistive Environments, 2016An exoskeleton may help healthy older adults stay independent for a longer time by augmenting their torque at weakened joints. Predictive models are useful to develop exoskeletons and assess the effect of exoskeletons on the user. Existing models that predict the effect of exoskeletons on the user use pre-defined motions which do not change when the ...

Wearable-based Human-Computer Interaction with LimbMotion
Proceedings of the 16th ACM Conference on Embedded Networked Sensor Systems, 2018LimbMotion is a limb tracking system which enables accurate and real-time tracking with one wearable device on the wrist/ankle of a user. By integrating inertial sensing and acoustic sensing, LimbMotion significantly reduces the search space of a moving limb, and provides accurate limb tracking for further human computer interaction (HCI).

Ontology driven interactive healthcare with wearable sensors
Multimedia Tools and Applications, 2012Ubiquitous healthcare is the service that offers health-related information and contents to users without any limitations of time and space. Especially, to offer customized services to users, the technology of acquiring context information of users in real time is the most important consideration. In this paper, we researched wearable sensors.

Impact of Situational Impairment on Interaction with Wearable Displays
22nd International Conference on Human-Computer Interaction with Mobile Devices and Services, 2020The number of wearable devices that we carry increases, with smaller companion devices like smartwatches providing quick access for simple tasks. These devices are, however, not necessarily in direct sight of the user and during everyday activities, it is unlikely, even undesirable, that the user constantly focuses on or interacts with these screens ...

The social comfort of wearable technology and gestural interaction
2014 36th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2014The "wearability" of wearable technology addresses the factors that affect the degree of comfort the wearer experiences while wearing a device, including physical, psychological, and social aspects. While the physical and psychological aspects of wearing technology have been investigated since early in the development of the field of wearable computing,
