Wearable electronics and photonicsby X M Tao
Woodhead Publishing Limited 2005; US$ 265.00Building electronics into clothing is a major new concept, which opens up a whole array of multi-functional, wearable electro-textiles for sensing/monitoring body functions, delivering communication facilities, data transfer, individual environment control, and many other applications. Fashion articles will carry key pads for mobile phones and connections for personal music systems; specialist clothing will be able to monitor the vital life signs of new-born babies, to record the performance of an athlete?s muscles, to call a rescue team to victims of accidents in adverse weather conditions. A team of distinguished international experts consider the technical materials and processes that will facilitate all these new applications. more...
Intelligent Wearable Interfacesby Yangsheng Xu; Wen Jung Li; Ka Keung Lee
John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2008; US$ 118.00A thorough introduction to the development and applications of intelligent wearable interfaces As mobile computing, sensing technology, and artificial intelligence become more advanced and their applications more widespread, the area of intelligent wearable interfaces is growing in importance. This emerging form of human-machine interaction has infinite possibilities for enhancing humans' capabilities in communications, actions, monitoring, and control. Intelligent Wearable Interfaces is a collection of the efforts the authors have made in this area at The Chinese University of Hong Kong. They introduce methodologies to develop a variety of intelligent wearable interfaces and cover practical implementations of systems for real-life applications.... more...
Antennas and Propagation for Body-Centric Wireless Communicationby Peter Hall
Artech House 2006; US$ 129.00In the past few years, System in Package (SiP) design has fueled a revolution in the use of modules in wireless devices due its effectiveness in meeting the increasingly demanding requirements for reliability, shielding, performance, size, and cost. Heres the first comprehensive resource on SiP design techniques that offers designers state-of-the-art packaging know-how. Moreover, the book provides numerous examples that illustrate real-world capabilities, constraints, trade-offs, and options at every step. more...
Moving Wearables into the Mainstreamby Joseph L. Dvorak
Springer 2007; US$ 99.00Discusses the characteristics and design elements required for wearable devices and systems to be widely adopted by the mainstream population for use in their everyday lives. This book shows how wearables can help people with daily tasks without getting between the user and the task. more...
Application Design for Wearable Computingby Dan Siewiorek; Asim Smailagic
Morgan & Claypool Publishers 2008; US$ 35.00The confluence of decades of computer science and computer engineering research in multimodal interaction (e.g., speech and gesture recognition), machine learning (e.g., classification and feature extraction), software (e.g., web browsers, distributed agents), electronics (e.g., energy-efficient microprocessors, head-mounted displays), design methodology in user-centered design, and rapid prototyping have enabled a new class of computers?wearable computers. The lecture takes the viewpoint of a potential designer or researcher in wearable computing. Designing wearable computers requires attention to many different factors because of the computer?s closeness to the body and its use while performing other tasks. For the purposes of discussion,... more...
