Zusammenfassung:

 

The next generation of computers might be literally wearable.

Our vision of such a wearable computing device is an

intelligent assistant, which is always with you and helps

you to solve your every day tasks. Besides size and power,

an important challenge is how to interact with wearable

computers. An important aspect and unique opportunity of

a wearable device is that it can perceive the world from

a first-person perspective: a wearable camera can see what

you see and a wearable microphone can hear what you hear

in order to analyze, model and recognize things and people

which are around you.

In this talk I will argue that a promising direction for

interaction is to make the computers more aware of the

situation the user is in and to model the user's context.

Wearable sensors, such as cameras, mounted to the user's

glasses, can recognize what the user is looking at

and model what the user is doing.
