Polyaniline (PANI) is considered as a promising material among many conductive polymers to adapt on textile structure because of its excellent environmental, thermal and chemical stabilities. The main objective of our research was to obtain the flexible electrical conductive fiber using PANI with polyethylene terephtalate (PET) fiber. Chemical PANI coating on PET yarns were performed by absorption of fiber through Pani-DBSA solution using 'Sol-gel' processes. The electrical conductivity, morphological and mechanical properties of conductive fibers were investigated. These fibers are supposed to be used in FICC in order to realize data transfer among electrical devices, sensors etc.","PeriodicalId":407425,"journal":{"name":"Eighth International Symposium on Wearable Computers","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125149133","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The system combines infrared markers with a head-mounted stereo camera to detect the user's position, and an orientation sensor to measure the orientation of the user's head. An extended Kalman filter is employed to reduce triangulation and orientation error by integrating the signals acquired by multiple sensors. The system is evaluated through a series of experiments, and a navigation system implemented using the proposed scheme is presented. The accuracy of the system is shown to be sufficient to allow annotations and virtual objects to be overlaid on real scenes via a head-mounted display without confusion.","PeriodicalId":407425,"journal":{"name":"Eighth International Symposium on Wearable Computers","volume":"84 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114586459","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We describe methods for segmenting the wearer's arm, the objects with which the wearer interacts, and the actions the wearer applies to these objects. Both real-time interactive methods and offline annotation tools are used to help Duo create meaningful segmentations from which to learn.","PeriodicalId":407425,"journal":{"name":"Eighth International Symposium on Wearable Computers","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123248735","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we report a user test to examine the advantages and limitations of the WACL interface in remote collaboration by comparing a head-mounted display and a head-mounted camera-based headset interface. Results show that the WACL is more comfortable to wear, is more eye-friendly, and causes less fatigue to the wearer, although there is no significant difference in task completion time. We first review related works and user studies with wearable collaborative systems, and then describe the details on the user test.","PeriodicalId":407425,"journal":{"name":"Eighth International Symposium on Wearable Computers","volume":"370 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131830469","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
