“Dynamicwearability is the interaction between the human body in motion and the wearable object”
Wearability• Placement
• Form Language
•Human Movement
• Proxemics and Attachment
• Sizing
• Containment
Gemperle et. al., Institute for Complex Engineered Systems , USA
Wearability•Weight
• Accessibility
• Sensory Interaction
• Thermal
• Aesthetics
• Long-term Use

Eyes-free interaction
• Self monitored input
• Input reflects bodily constraints
•Minimal interaction models
• Immediate output
• Seamless transition from novice to expert
Oakley and Park, Smart Interface Research Team, Korea
Eyes-free interaction
• Proper placement
• Clear borders
• Perform with ease
• Fit different body positions
•Multimodal feedback
Multimodal feedback
Visual feedback
• Competes for attention
•Display is needed
• Power hungry
• Very distracting
• Rich output
• Immersive experience
• Privacy assured
•Use of visual icons and metaphors
Audial feedback
• Slower perception
• Transient
• Terminology
•No privacy
• Small size
• Peripheral and unobtrusive
• Spatial audio
• Earcons
Tactile feedback
• Intimacy affected
• Bulky
• Low expressiveness
• The least explored
• Easy to add
• Key for the blind
• Realistic free space interactions
• Tap or caress as a metaphor
Gestures on textiles
Gestures on textiles
Human Media Lab, Queen’s University
Two single touch, textile, resistive touchpads embedded in a pair of trousers and capable of delivering three-dimensional data (location + pressure level)
Heller, Ivanov et. al., ISWC ‘14 “FabriTouch, RWTH-Aachen”
A thin yet smart layer for your shoes that allows you to track your walking and running in real time in order to improve your technique and minimize the risk of traumas.
