Moving Wearables into the Mainstream - Taming the Borg (Hardcover, 2008 ed.)

The term wearables encompasses a wide spectrum of devices, services and systems for wireless communications and the web. Moving Wearable Technology into the Mainstream discusses the characteristics and design elements required for wearable devices and systems to be widely adopted by the mainstream population for use in their everyday lives. This book introduces concepts such as Operational Inertia that form a mindset conducive to designing wearables suitable for adoption by the mainstream. Wearables are by their nature closely associated with the person, and their use generates many social and even legal issues that have little to do with specific technologies. This book discusses these implications, which can pose the greatest impediment to the successful adoption of the technology. This volume is structured to meet the needs of researchers and practitioners in industry. It can also be used as a secondary text in advanced-level courses in computer science and electrical engineering.
