CL → cognitive load 
PP → physical presence 
SC → social convention

Wearable HCI Talk for U of R

Editor's Notes

  1. I am a maker! I love to build things. Sometimes hardware, sometimes software, usually a mixture of both. (photos of things I’ve made)
  2. is glass a wearable computer? is fitbit? why/why not?
  3. 1200s: eyeglasses
  4. Also 1500s, a German mechanical pedometer
  5. ancient chinese abacus ring
  6. Chatelaine, 1600s–1800s
  7. possibly first wristwatch ever. 1868.
  8. Thorp & Shannon, 1966. Roulette wearable.
  9. 1977: HP calculator watch
  10. Walkman—1979 Notice 2 headphone ports. Shared wearability.
  11. MIT wearable computing group, ~1993
  12. Early 200s: Xybernaut, IBM linux watch, Symbol barcode scanner Not much commercialized
  13. Lots of research!
  14. Ruputer—1998–2006 SPOT watch—2004–2008 WristPDA—2003–2005
  15. IBM wearable commercial 2000
  16. Sony watch (2010), Motorola watch (2012), Pebble (2013)
  17. 2013: Google Glass 2013: Samsung Galaxy Gear
  18. answered this...
  19. enhance your abilities: vision, hearing, memory(!)
  20. enhance your abilities: vision, hearing, memory(!)
  21. wearable to learn stuff about you—QS movement also context sensing for personal assistance
  22. personalized, autonomous, sense the environment & act on your behalf: communication filtering; turn off phone ringer; google now!
  23. Larry page: “reduce time between intention and action”
  24. enhance your abilities: vision, hearing, memory(!)
  25. people don’t like wearing things. benefits must greatly outweigh irritation of wearing + charging + social
  26. Lots of places we can wear things! However, we want to wear things that are comfortable.
  27. not paying attention can be dangerous… in multiple ways
  28. not paying attention can be dangerous… in multiple ways
  29. example: wrist devices: social convention good; physical presence low; varying cognitive load
  30. example: wrist devices: social convention good; physical presence low; varying cognitive load
  31. enhance your abilities: vision, hearing, memory(!)
  32. Direct, touch, gesture, speech
  33. I address all three costs!
  34. I address all three costs! Two examples before I end.
  35. Researchers have tried to make ideas real, but they usually are like this.
  36. simple ring to enable simple interactions
  37. use ring for selection, fast access
  38. short demo
  39. Sensor in existing box; called “baselet”. Can see magnetic field change, and associated trace, as ring rotates.
  40. Really responsive, high-resolution
  41. goal: can this really be usable?
  42. scenario is something like this—selecting items from a list determine user ability to select targets how many targets possible?
  43. user studies: how many targets; visual feedback? results what does this tell us? what’s the bigger picture?
  44. one bit I/O + connectivity
  45. one set of questions
  46. one set of questions
  47. what is the application? logging / quick interaction / long interaction / really long interaction
  48. networking, integration, discoverability of functions, how many wearables will people use at once, switching off, connectivity vs battery life wrt keeping my data in the cloud vs local (thick vs thin)
  49. Wearable fashion: can be goofy, but is actually staggeringly important for real devices.
