Wearable Computing is transforming the way people conduct business, take care of their health, entertain themselves, and more. Several research challenges arise in the area of user interface design, power management, input devices, wireless communication, sensors, data synchronization and analysis, and device symbiosis for pervasive devices and wearable.
The barrier is now something less amenable to forecasting than transistor density or disk capacity: the barrier is social acceptance. When you can wear a computer and walk from one end of the mall to the other without people sniggering that are when you know the world is ready. Having said that Wearable computing will arrive as soon as society stops laughing at it. Ten years ago, the barrier to widespread wearable computing was the technology. Where do you put a computer on your body? How can you power it? How do you look at the screen? How can you type at it? Now those problems have been solved, more or less.
The overall theme of this Blogger is to explore how business processes can be made more efficient with the use of pervasive technology and to understand the changes they drive in the back-end and the infrastructure.
