Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent years have witnessed major advances in wearable technologies in various form factors, including head-worn displays, smartwatches, bracelets and jewellery. These devices are becoming increasing popular for daily information tasks due to the advantages in small form factor, mobility, and availability. However, despite their promising benefits, creating usable wearables devices still faces numerous challenges due to their limited interaction capabilities.
This Special Issue aims to provide a collection of high quality research results related to advanced interaction techniques for wearable devices. We welcome contributions related to HCI technology, experience, methodology, and theory. This includes:
- Novel devices and techniques: The design, development and evaluation of novel devices and techniques that create valuable new interactive capabilities for wearable devices
- Applications and experiences: Descriptions of the design, empirical study of interactive applications, or analysis of usage trends that leverage wearable devices.
- Theories and models: theory with clearly motivated relevance to the design or study of wearable interfaces; taxonomies of design or devices.
