Software for Wearable Devices: Challenges and Opportunities

Wearable devices are a new form of mobile computer system that provides exclusive and user-personalized services. Wearable devices bring new issues and challenges to computer science and technology. This paper summarizes the development process and the categories of wearable devices. In addition, we present new key issues arising in aspects of wearable devices, including operating systems, database management system, network communication protocol, application development platform, privacy and security, energy consumption, human-computer interaction, software engineering, and big data.Comment: 6 pages, 1 figure, for Compsac 201

Innovative User Interfaces for Wearable Computers in Real Augmented Environment

International audienceTo be able to move freely in an environment, the user needs awearable configuration that is composed of a set of interaction devices, whichallows the interaction at least one hand free. Taking into account the location(physical, geographical or logical) and the aimed activities of the user, theinteraction style and devices must be in appropriate relation with the context. Inthis paper, we present our design approach and a series of real proposals ofwearable user interfaces. Our research is investigating innovative environmentdependent and environment independent interfaces. We describe these interfaces,their configurations, real examples of use and the evaluation of selectedtechniques
