This paper reports the development of smart clothing for an education application. Beginning with a brief review of a specific perspective on wearable computers (computers as clothing), the paper defines six key assumptions for this technology: computational simplicity of nodes, embedded systems, interconnection of nodes, use of sensors at nodes, use of sensors to define context, and personalisation. A specific example of smart clothing, the SensVest prototype is described in terms of the design process and current evaluation activity. |
