Abstract
Wearable computing provides unique opportunities in human-computer interaction reminiscent of the "man-machine symbioses" proposed by early computer science researchers. By observing the user's every day actions from a first-person perspective, the wearable computer can derive useful data about the wearer's context. This data can cue agents which, in turn, provide information relevant to the current task in an unobtrusive manner.
Over the past 5 years, I have helped assemble a community of wearable computer users at the MIT Media Laboratory in order to explore primary and secondary human-computer interfaces, sensing, ergonomics, and privacy-aware ubiquitous computing. This talk will provide a sampling of this research and introduce the long-term goals of the project.
