Wearable Computing
Wearable computing is the study or practice of inventing, designing, building, or using miniature body-borne computational and sensory devices. Wearable computers may be worn under, over, or in clothing, or may also be themselves clothes (i.e. "Smart Clothing" (Mann 1996))

The Beginnings
The calculator watch - a digital watch with a built in calculator, usually including buttons on the watch face, first introduced in the 70s:
Casio DatabankCalculator Watch

Steve Mann
Researcher and inventor best known for his work on computational photography, particularly wearable computing and high dynamic range imaging."Steve Mann ... brought the seed" that founded the Wearable Computing group in the Media Lab and ”he is the perfect example of someone ... who persisted in his vision and ended up founding a new discipline.” (N. Negroponte)“Sousveillance” is the recording of an activity by a participant in the activity, typically by way of small wearable or portable personal technologies.

Wearables: Application Domains
- Healthcare- Wellbeing – fitness- Monitoring babies & pets- Specific workplaces – firefighting, manufacturing- Games and Virtual Reality- Performances and Art
In many applications, user's skin, hands, voice, eyes, arms as well as motion or attention are actively engaged as the physical environment.

The Quantified Self
Incorporating technology into data acquisition on aspects of a person's daily life in terms of inputs (e.g. food consumed, quality of surrounding air), states (e.g. mood, arousal, blood oxygen levels), and performance (mental and physical)
The term ‘quantified self’ was proposed in Wired Magazine, 2007, and author Gary Wolf gave an introduction to the concept at TED 2010

Using wearable technology or mobile devices in order to capture and chronicle one’s life
