Wearable Computing for the Internet of Things [PDF]

open access: possibleIT Professional, 2015
In the next few years, the Internet of Things (IoT) will become a reality, merging the social, physical, and cyber worlds to enable new applications and forms of interaction between humans and connected, smart sensing and actuating devices. As billions of smart objects become deployed pervasively in the environment, users should be able to discover and

Wearable Computers

2017
Wearable computers include a variety of body-borne sensory, communication, and computational components that may be worn on the body, under, over, or within clothing. These mechanisms have potential benefits for (a) human performance support, (b) cognitive and psychomotor learning, and (c) K-12 educational environments.

An Overview of Wearable Computing

2019
This chapter provides a high-level user-oriented overview of wearable computing. It begins by defining wearable computing and describing its key characteristics. It then provides an historical view of wearable computing devices, beginning with an abacus ring from the 17th century and progressing to modern wearable computing devices.
