About this Research Topic
ISWC – the International Conference on Wearable Computers – is the leading event on all research related to wearable technology. Running since 1997, when the first ISWC was held at MIT, the conference serves as a testimony to the longevity of this area of research, in no small part due to the solid foundations laid by an interdisciplinary community spanning a broad range of areas from textile materials and microelectronic systems to information science.
Reflecting the tremendous progress made in wearable computing in recent years, this Research Topic offers a snapshot of the state of the art of this field in 2022 and 2023.
This Research Topic invites authors of papers presented within the Briefs and Notes Track of ISWC 2022 and 2023 to submit an extended version of their work to this collection. Such extended papers should include at least 30% new content, which offers the opportunity to provide additional details beyond what is possible in a conference publication. For instance, authors can expand upon on their work with further details on their motivation, related work, analysis, the presentation of their findings, or their discussion.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Wearable Activity Recognition
- Wearable Assistance and Health
- Wearable Interaction and Perception
- Wearable Sensing
- On-skin Interfaces and e-Textiles
Keywords: Wearable Computing, Wearable Sensing, Wearable AI, Smart Textiles, On-Skin Interfaces
Important Note: All contributions to this Research Topic must be within the scope of the section and journal to which they are submitted, as defined in their mission statements. Frontiers reserves the right to guide an out-of-scope manuscript to a more suitable section or journal at any stage of peer review.
