About this Research Topic
2021 marked the 25th edition of ISWC – the International Symposium on Wearable Computers – which is the leading research venue for all topics related to wearables. The first ISWC was held at MIT in 1997, and this year’s 25th anniversary should give us pause to reflect on the advances made in the field. It is also a testimony to the longevity of this area of research, in no small part due to the solid foundations that this community has laid for it.
Wearable computing has made tremendous progress in the last two decades, and this Research Topic will take a snapshot of the state of wearable computing research in 2021.
This Research Topic invites all authors of papers presented at ISWC 2021 to submit an extended version of their work to this collection. Such extended work 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 more 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
