The browser was tested for hands-free, eyes-free, and hands-and-eyes-free use. Usability test results are presented that should be of use to wearable computer researchers concerned with hands-and-eyes-free use.

Field studies of bike messenger operations in Oslo and New York City has been conducted to inform design. We have investigated how component mobility is critical for enabling tailoring of personal mobility in general, and on-body off-body mobility specifically. We suggest that taking mobility seriously may not only contribute to our understanding of current support for mobility, but also raise more general issues concerning requirements and design of mobile technologies. Instead of building a terminal by integrating several terminals into one, our approach suggests first, a dissolution of the current terminals into pieces called \"basic components\" and then reassemble the selected basic components to form a customized terminal.","PeriodicalId":356535,"journal":{"name":"Digest of Papers.

In particular, the computer should know where the person is in the environment. This paper proposes an image sequence matching technique for the recognition of locations and previously visited places. As in single word recognition in speech recognition, a dynamic programming algorithm is proposed for the calculation of the similarity of different locations. The system runs on a standalone wearable computer, such as a Libretto PC. Using a training sequence, a dictionary of locations is created automatically. These locations are then recognized by the system in real time using a hat-mounted camera.","PeriodicalId":356535,"journal":{"name":"Digest of Papers.

Health issues are considered in selecting suitable antenna topology and the placement of the antenna.

These applications are contextually embedded in real-world situations, and are enabled by the proliferation of new kinds of computing devices, expanding communication capabilities and new kinds of digital content. Three types of discontinuities give rise to intention/action gaps and provide opportunities for situated computing applications: physical discontinuities, information discontinuities and and awareness discontinuities. Several examples of applications that overcome these discontinuities are presented.","PeriodicalId":356535,"journal":{"name":"Digest of Papers.
