[PDF] Wearable Computing: A First Step Toward Personal Imaging | Semantic Scholar

This paper gives an outline of how useful visual sensors are for the wearable visual interfaces, and describes where the cameras should be worn, and how the optics system and imaging system should be configured.

A text-based augmented reality, the Remembrance Agent, is presented to illustrate this approach, and a long-term goal of this project is to model the user's actions, anticipate his or her needs, and perform a seamless interaction between the virtual and physical environments.

A new wearable computing paradigm called Wear-I is presented that regards wearables as extensions of human sense and action organs, and further proposes a life-like system to interconnect, manage and control these wearables using various applications.

The 'wearable computer' of the late 1970s and early 1980s, comprising a backpack-based, tetherless computer system together with wireless communications, has been transformed from an awkward and cumbersome burden into a completely unobtrusive internet-connected multimedia computer built within an ordinary pair of eyeglasses and ordinary clothing.

The fundamental idea behind the three-dimensional display is to present the user with a perspective image which changes as he moves, and this display depends heavily on this "kinetic depth effect".

Some of the mathematical techniques borrowed from algebraic geometry, projective geometry, and homotopy theory that are required to solve three-dimensional (3D) motion and structure of rigid objects when their corresponding features are known at different times or are viewed by different cameras are mentioned.
