2. Wearable Devices

5. Wearable Interfaces
Wearable interfaces are the interfaces used to interact with wearable devices while they are in use
Because many wearable devices are designed as data gatherers with limited displays, there are issues for both
how to enable input (gulf of execution) and
how to present results (gulf of evaluation)

6. Bridging the Gulfs Alternative input modes are explored Output modes
Touch & gesture
Speech
Brainwaves
Output modes
Internal small displays
Projectors
Connections to larger portable devices (smart phones & tablets)

7. Somewhat Unique Issues
Interfaces can be more sensitive to physiological differences between users
Social settings and social contracts
Acceptability
Privacy
Data deluge
Lots of data but limited opportunity to present it
Device issues: power, heat, networking
