▼ Wearable computing systems have been researched and developed for several decades. With the advent of the head-mounted display, augmented and mediated reality systems became an important example of wearable computing. However, due to certain factors such as computational constraints, cost, obtrusiveness, practicality, and social acceptance, mediated reality systems have been leveraged in only very specific application domains and have yet to see
mainstream adoption.
This dissertation describes the research and development of a real-time mediated reality platform developed for modern mobile devices to provide a more reasonable transition in overcoming the mainstream adoption barrier of mediated reality systems. In particular, an outdoor navigational application that provides contextually-relevant information about a user’s surroundings is developed using the platform as a proof-of-concept for evaluation. In addition, the server
infrastructure required to support the application is discussed, as well as the evaluation of a hybrid orientation tracking approach using sensors and computer vision.

▼ The recent surge in wrist-worn devices has stirred an increasing interest in wearable technology, however, reactions to these devices are split and the use-case of these devices is still unclear. This thesis explores affordances and opportunities offered by wrist-worn devices through the design and implementation of DisplaySkin.
We approach the topic of wrist-worn displays by initially presenting a historical analysis of the development of the wristwatch. Based upon this analysis we present a series of design guidelines: we suggest that wrist-worn devices should be designed for non-focal attention, supply the user with contextual information, accommodate glance based interactions and consider the user’s body pose.
Implementing these guidelines, we built DisplaySkin, a wrist-worn, pose aware device. DisplaySkin features a large flexible electrophoretic display and advanced sensing capabilities, allowing it to orient content towards the users face, independently of their body-pose. This design approach takes both new technological opportunities, as well as the cultural history of the wristwatch into account.
To evaluate DisplaySkin, we conducted two experimental studies. The first study investigates the effects of display size on a scrolling task, demonstrating that, even if the input area is kept constant, users are able to complete tasks faster using a larger display. In our second experiment we investigate the pose-aware display, demonstrating that using a pose-aware display improves reaction times when acknowledging notifications on a wrist-worn display.

▼ In this thesis, an activity classification algorithm is developed to support a human ambulatory monitoring system. This algorithm, to be deployed on an e-textile garment, represents the enabling step in creating a wide range of garments that can use the same classifier without having to re-train for different sensor types. This flexible operation is made possible by basing the classifier on an abstract model of the human body that is the same across all sensor types and
subject bodies. In order to support low power devices inherent for
wearable systems, the algorithm utilizes regular expressions along with a tree search during classification.
To validate the approach, a user study was conducted using video motion capture to record subjects performing a variety of activities. The subjects were randomly placed into two groups, one used to generate the activities known by the classifier and another to be used as observation to the classifier. These two sets were used to gain insight on the performance of the algorithm. The results of the study demonstrate that the algorithm can successfully classify observations, so as long as precautions are taken to prevent the activities known by the classifier to become too large. It is also shown that the tree search performed by the classification can be utilized to partially classify observations that would otherwise be rejected by the classifier. The user study additionally included subjects that performed activities purely used for observations to the classifier. With this set of recordings, it was demonstrated that the classifier does not over-fit and is capable of halting the classification of an observation.

▼ Mobile computing devices are becoming indispensable in every aspect of human life, but diverse hardware limits make current mobile devices far from ideal for satisfying the performance requirements of modern mobile applications and being used anytime, anywhere. Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) could be a viable solution to bypass these limits which enhances the mobile capacity through cooperative resource sharing, but is challenging due to the heterogeneity of mobile devices in both hardware and software aspects. Traditional schemes either restrict to share a specific type of hardware resource within individual applications, which requires tremendous reprogramming efforts; or disregard the runtime execution pattern and transmit too much unnecessary data, resulting in bandwidth and energy waste.To address the aforementioned challenges, we present three novel designs of resource sharing frameworks which utilize the various system resources from a remote or personal cloud to enhance the mobile capacity in a generic and efficient manner. First, we propose a novel method-level offloading methodology to run the mobile computational workload on the remote cloud CPU. Minimized data transmission is achieved during such offloading by identifying and selectively migrating the memory contexts which are necessary to the method execution. Second, we present a systematic framework to maximize the mobile performance of graphics rendering with the remote cloud GPU, during which the redundant pixels across consecutive frames are reused to reduce the transmitted frame data. Last, we propose to exploit the unified mobile OS services and generically interconnect heterogeneous mobile devices towards a personal mobile cloud, which complement and flexibly share mobile peripherals (e.g., sensors, camera) with each other.

▼ Avec le développement de différents capteurs et des dispositifs, l'informatique ne se limite plus à la mode bureautique. Cependant, l'interface utilisateur traditionnelle, utilisée sur l'ordinateur de bureau, n'est plus approprié pour l'informatique ubiquitaire. La complexité de l'environnement mobile demande la conception d'interfaces dédiées impliquant des techniques d'entrée et la sortie qui contiennent les nouvelles caractéristiques émergentes au-delà des techniques traditionnelles. L'une des solutions possibles pour permettre l'interaction omniprésente soit le nomadisme, soit la mobilité. Nous proposons trois interfaces liées à ces deux solutions: L'interface fixé dan l'environnement (abréviation de IEI en anglais), interface dépendante de l'environnement (EDI) et Interface Indépendante de l'environnement (EII). Tout d'abord, nous présentons globalement notre approche sur la conception de ces trois interfaces innovantes (IEI, EDI et EII), leurs configurations portées (dispositif d'affichage portée sur les lunettes plus caméra et dispositif d'affichage pico-projecteur plus caméra), des exemples réels d'utilisation et une évaluation préliminaire des techniques d'entrée de sélection pour prouver la faisabilité de nos prototypes. Par la suite, nous proposons sur les dispositifs portées, et seule les EDI et les EII seraient étudié plus en détail. Afin de concrétiser l'EDI et l'EII, nous proposons un continuum allant de l'interface physique, l'interface mixte physique-numérique, jusqu'à l'interface totalement numérique. Basé sur l'interface physique, nous proposons le système MobilePaperAccess qui sur le dispositif d'affichage portée sur les lunettes plus caméra permettant l'accès à l'information numérique à partir d'une interface imprimé du papier. Ce système est conçu pour valider nos concepts de l'EDI et de l'EII. Les deux types d'interfaces (EDI et EII) et trois techniques d'entrée (doigt, masque et carnet) ont été évaluées par les méthodes quantitatives et qualitatives avec ce système. Basé sur l'interface numérique projetée multi-échelle, le système PlayAllAround est sur dispositif d'affichage pico-projecteur plus caméra, et il pouvoir fournir un affichage à différentes tailles, à la plus petite, individuelle et portée, à la plus grande, partageable et publique. Pour la conception de ce système, nous proposons une décomposition de l'interface basée sur une de cellule de référence de taille fixé pourrait la mise à l'échelle de l'interface en fonctionne de la taille de projection. Le geste de sélection sur un vol et l'interface multi-échelle ont été évalués avec ce système. Les résultats de nos expériences ont montré que PlayAllAround fonctionne bien avec le geste de sélection sur un vol et l'interface multi-échelle. Pour aller plus loin, nous explorons les gestes de la main, y compris le geste stationnaire, le geste de pincement et le geste de fermeture du poing. Nous employons le geste de pincement et le geste de fermeture du poing comme entrée pour pointer, l'action de glisser-déposer et la action de tracer.…

Предмет истраживања дисертације је развој модела
мобилног здравства заснованог на wearable computing-у. Централни
проблем који се разматра у докторској дисертацији је испитивање
могућности примене и интеграције wearable computing-а, Интернета
интелигентних уређаја (енг. Internet of Things, IoT), мобилних
технологија и сервиса, big data аналитике и рачунарства у облаку за
развој сервиса мобилног здравства. Фокус истраживања биће на
примени сервиса мобилног здравства у области мерења, праћења и
контроле стреса код студената. Увођењем Интернета интелигентних
уређаја у мобилно здравство, у области контроле стреса, омогућава
се прикупљање података са тела корисника путем сензора. Примена
wearable уређаја у процесу контроле стреса лекарима или психолозима
треба да омогући добијање информација о психофизичком стању
корисника. Применом сервиса електронског здравства измерени подаци
се прате, чувају и врши се анализа података. На основу аналитичких
резултата могу сe креирати одговарајуће методе за контролу стреса и
персонализоване превентивне здравствене поруке намењене
корисницима. Предложен је модел мобилног здравства заснован на
wearable computing-у који се састоји из система мобилног здравства,
wearable система и сервиса за међусобну интеграцију компоненти и
интеграцију са електронским здравством. Осим тога, модел обухвата
интеграцију мобилног здравства са програмима формалног образовања.
У екперименталном делу докторске дисертације предложени модел
мобилног здравства заснован на wearable computing-у је
имплементиран у образовном окружењу. Систем је евалуиран у реалном
окружењу, током одбране завршних радова студената на Факултету
организационих наука Универзитета у Београду. Резултати су показали
да је коришћење мобилне апликације са садржајима за релаксацију
утицало на смањење стреса код студената током одбране завршних
радова.

▼ Physiotherapy is a key part of treatment for neurological and musculoskeletal disorders, which affect millions in the U.S. each year. Physical therapy treatments typically consist of an initial diagnostic session during which patients’ impairments are assessed and exercises are prescribed to improve the impaired functions. As part of the treatment program, exercises are often assigned to be performed at home daily. Patients return to the clinic weekly or biweekly for check-up visits during which the physical therapist reassesses their condition and makes further treatment decisions, including readjusting the exercise prescriptions. Most physical therapists work in clinics or hospitals. When patients perform their exercises at home, physical therapists cannot supervise them and lack quantitative exercise data reflecting the patients’ exercise compliance and performance. Without this information, it is difficult for physical therapists to make informed decisions or treatment adjustments. To make informed decisions, physical therapists need to know how often patients exercise, the duration and/or repetitions of each session, exercise metrics such as the average velocities and ranges of motion for each exercise, patients’ symptom levels (e.g. pain or dizziness) before and after exercise, and what mistakes patients make. In this thesis, I evaluate and work towards a solution to this problem. The growing ubiquity of mobile and wearable technology makes possible the development of “virtual rehabilitation assistants.” Using motion sensors such as accelerometers and gyroscopes that are embedded in a wearable device, the “assistant” can mediate between patients at home and physical therapists in the clinic. Its functions are to: use motion sensors to record home exercise metrics for compliance and performance and report these metrics to physical therapists in real-time or periodically; allow physical therapists and patients to quantify and see progress on a fine-grain level; record symptom levels to further help physical therapists gauge the effectiveness of exercise prescriptions; offer real-time mistake recognition and feedback to the patients during exercises; One contribution of this thesis is an evaluation of the feasibility of this idea in real home settings. Because there has been little research on wearable virtual assistants in patient homes, there are many unanswered questions regarding their use and usefulness: Q1. What patient in-home data could wearable virtual assistants gather to support physical therapy treatments? Q2. Can patient data gathered by virtual assistants be useful to physical therapists? 3 Q3. How is this wearable in-home technology received by patients? I sought to answer these questions by implementing and deploying a prototype called “SenseCap.” SenseCap is a small mobile device worn on a ball cap that monitors patients’ exercise movements and queries them about their symptoms. A technology probe study showed that the virtual assistant could gather important compliance, performance, and…

▼ The concept of mobile computing finds several application in sectors such as public administration, entertainment, military and others that take advantage of the fact that the mobile computing enables the user to access the content from anyplace and anytime. The only requirement is the usage of a mobile device and access on a public or private network. Nowadays, the concept of mobile computing has been extended and there is transformation from mobile devices to wearable devices such as the Google Glasses, Apple Watches, or other wearable computing devices. The innovative concept of wearable computing, in order to avoid the risk of the high cost of production, requires a framework that identifies the user’s behavior towards adopting this type of technology. There are several factors that may influence the user’s intention to adopt wearable computing, including technical and non technical factors. The scope of the current Thesis is to detect the impact of the privacy factor towards the intention of the user to adopt the wearable computing.

▼ A stroke is the loss of brain function caused by a sudden interruption in the blood supply
of the brain. The extent of damage caused by a stroke is dependent on many factors
such as the type of stroke, its location in the brain, the extent of oxygen deprivation and
the criticality of the neural systems affected. While stroke is a non-cumulative disease,
it is nevertheless a deadly pervasive disease and one of the leading causes of death and
disability worldwide. Those fortunate enough to survive stroke are often left with some
form of serious long-term disability. Weakness or paralysis on one side of the body, or
in an individual limb is common after stroke. This affects independence and can greatly
limit quality of life.
Stroke rehabilitation represents the collective effort to heal the body following stroke
and to return the survivor to as normal a life as possible. It is well established that
rehabilitation therapy comprising task-specific, repetitive, prolonged movement training
with learning is an effective method of provoking the necessary neuroplastic changes
required which ultimately lead to the recovery of function after stroke. However, traditional
means of delivering such treatments are labour intensive and constitute a significant burden for the therapist limiting their ability to treat multiple patients. This
makes rehabilitation medicine a costly endeavour that may benefit from technological
contributions. As such, stroke has severe social and economic implications, problems
exasperated by its age related dependencies and the rapid ageing of our world. Consequently
these factors are leading to a rise in the number living with stroke related
complications. This is increasing the demand for post stroke rehabilitation services and
places an overwhelming amount of additional stress on our already stretched healthcare
systems.
Therefore, new innovative solutions are urgently required to support the efforts of healthcare
professionals in an attempt to alleviate this stress and to ultimately improve the
quality of care for stroke survivors. Recent innovations in computer and communication
technology have lead to a torrent of research into ubiquitous, pervasive and distributed
technologies, which might be put to great use for rehabilitative purpose. Such technology
has great potential utility to support the rehabilitation process through the delivery of
complementary, relatively autonomous rehabilitation therapy, potentially in the comfort
of the patient's own home. This thesis describes concerted work to improve the current
state and future prospects of stroke rehabilitation, through investigations which explore
the utility of wearable, ambient and ubiquitous computing solutions for the development
of potentially transformative healthcare technology. Towards this goal, multiple different
avenues of the rehabilitation process are explored, tackling the full chain of processes
involved in motor recovery, from brain to extremities. Subsequently, a number of cost
effective prototype devices for use in supporting…

▼ We discuss the design of an e-textile shirt with an interactive Lumalive display featuring a touch-controlled image browser. To determine where to place touch sensors, we investigated which areas of the Lumalive shirt users would be comfortable touching or being touched. We did so by measuring how often participants would opt out of touches. Results show significant differences in opt-outs between touch zones on the front of the shirt. For both touchers and touchees, opt-outs occurred mostly in the upper chest touch zone. We also found significant differences in comfort ratings between touch zones on the front as well as on the back of the shirt. On the front, the
upper chest and lower abdominal zones were the least comfortable touch zones. We found no gender effects on overall comfort ratings, suggesting the upper chest area
was equally uncomfortable to males as it was to females. Interestingly, touching some areas rated as most uncomfortable produced a significantly greater calming effect on heart rate. Findings suggest participants were less comfortable with touches on the upper chest, the lower abdomen, and the lower back. We conclude that the most appropriate areas for touch sensors on a shirt are on the arms and shoulders, as well as on the upper back. Based on these findings, we created an interactive shirt for
a proximity-based game of tag using Lumalive e-textile displays. This custom shirt features touch sensors located on the shoulder and lower arm regions of the shirt.

▼ Wearable computers and e-textiles are becoming increasingly widespread in todayâ s society. Motion capture is one of the many potential applications for on-body electronic systems. Previous work has been performed at Virginia Techâ s E-textiles Laboratory to design a framework for a self-contained loose fit motion capture system. This system gathers information from sensors distributed throughout the body on a â smartâ garment. This thesis presents the hardware and software components of the framework, along with improvements made to it. This thesis also presents an analysis of both the on-body and off-body network communication to determine how many sensors can be supported on the garment at a given time. Finally, this thesis presents a method for determining the accuracy of the smart garment and shows how it compares against a commercially available motion capture system.

▼ This thesis presents the design and analysis of a vest-worn alerting system with the purpose of warning those who wear it. The goal of this thesis has been shaped around roadside construction workers, people who endeavor to build and maintain the roadways in highly noisy and dangerous environments. Our goal is to determine what type of alerting method best interrupts the worker, allowing him or her to know that danger approaches. Multiple alerting methods will be compared via reaction time and user data derived through critical incidents from the Critical Incident Technique (CIT) and notification-focused questionnaires. All testing is done in a simulated noisy environment. Each of these alerting methods involve combinations of auditory, visual, or haptic components. At the end of this thesis, the different alerting methods will be compared and a mode will be suggested for
wearable notification activities. The work proposed in this thesis focuses mostly on vest design and alert testing for construction-based scenarios, but the work can be extended to police and highway worker scenarios.

▼ In past recent years, we have observed that the number of smart devices worn and carried by users is growing rapidly driven by innovative new smart wearables and interesting service offerings. The ubiquitous adoption of wearables is truly changing the way mobile
computing is deployed and mobile applications are being developed. This has led to applications that utilise multiple devices around the body to provide immersive environments such as Mixed Reality. These applications rely on a number of different types of functions such as sensing, communication and various types of processing, that require considerable device resources such as energy, computation and memory. Also, many current applications require access to Internet data. However, these resources are much limited in the hand-held and
wearable devices thus limit the applications from not achieving its full capability and leaves the users dissatisfied. Ability to incorporate more resources on the device is again limited as it likely to make the devices bulky and more expensive. Therefore, efficient utilisation of available resources is paramount. Today, a person owns multiple of these smart hand-held and
wearable devices that are interconnected and form a Personal Area Network (PAN). When the same function is available on multiple devices that form part of the PAN, and/or is in close proximity (i.e., common-functions), it is possible to consider them as a re- source pool that can be shared among the devices. This enables the applications to dynamically leverage the capabilities of the devices in the PAN to optimise resource usage, thereby elongate the battery uptime, provide the best quality of service, minimise the monetary cost of usage, depending on the user/device context and application requirements. To harness the collective capabilities of PAN devices at present, each application has to implement utilisation of the distributed resources, by explicitly considering the availability of the devices in the PAN and the supported functions, the cost of accessing each of the function and their quality of service, and the dynamic changes in the context of user and devices. This requires a wider understanding of distributed PAN systems at the initial phase of the application development, which is nearly impossible and increases the complexity of application development. Therefore, a platform takes user and device context into account, facilitates applications to utilise all PAN resources intelligently and automatically, and dynamically adapts to the context changes is needed. We introduce the concept of Application Function Virtualisation (AFV) that enables each application seamless accessibility to the available resources within the PAN and provides intelligence. AFV takes care of monitoring context changes, optimal decision making depending on the context changes, and the dynamic adaptation of the system. The thesis first shows that the
wearable devices and applications are being adopted by users and developers in the same way as smartphones. Also, users and…

▼ With the growth of the elderly population, more seniors live alone as sole occupants of a private dwelling than any other population groups. Helping them to live a better life is very important and has great societal benefits. Assisted living systems can provide support to elderly people in their houses or apartments. Since automated recognition of human gestures and activities is indispensable for human-robot interaction (HRI) in assisted living systems, this dissertation focuses on developing a theoretical framework for human gesture, daily activity recognition and anomaly detection. First, we introduce two prototypes of
wearable sensors for motion data collection used in this project. Second, gesture recognition algorithms are developed to recognize explicit human intention. Third, body activity recognition algorithms are presented with different sensor setups. Fourth, complex daily activities, which consist of body activities and hand gestures simultaneously, are recognized using a dynamic Bayesian network (DBN). Fifth, a coherent anomaly detection framework is built to detect four types of abnormal behaviors in human's daily life. Our work can be extended in several directions in the future.

▼ This thesis explores the usage of two prominent
wearable devices to develop assistive technology for users who are visually impaired. Specifically, the work in this thesis aims at improving the quality of life of users who are visually impaired by improving their mobility and ability to socially interact with others. We explore the use of a smart watch for creating low-cost spatial haptic applications. This app explores the use of haptic feedback provided using a smartwatch and smartphone to provide navigation instructions that let visually impaired people safely traverse a large open space. This spatial feedback guides them to walk on a straight path from source to destination by avoiding veering. Exploring the paired interaction between a Smartphone and a Smartwatch, helped to overcome the limitation that smart devices have only single haptic actuator.We explore the use of a head-mounted display to enhance social interaction by helping people with visual impairments align their head towards a conversation partner as well as maintain personal space during a conversation. Audio feedback is provided to the users guiding them to achieve effective face-to-face communication. A qualitative study of this method shows the effectiveness of the application and explains how it helps visually impaired people to perceive non-verbal cues and feel more engaged and assertive in social interactions.

▼ PPVR is a collaboration system that supports remote piano training in a virtual reality environment with the support of synchronous and asynchronous communication, various viewpoints, and detection of finger pressure. We designed two different user interfaces for the learner and the instructor and provide different viewpoints and scaffolding tools for the learner. We also explored the usage of pressure sensing inVR to enrich the information transmission during the remote piano training. We designed a user study, but were unable to conduct it due to COVID-19.

▼ The proliferation of pervasive computing devices with unprecedented sensing, communication, and computation capabilities has enabled continuous and ubiquitous monitoring of users and their surrounding environments. While smartphones have evolved from only communication devices into powerful personal computing platforms, connected devices such as smartwatches, cameras, motions sensors, thermostats, and energy meters, collectively dubbed as the Internet of Things, are also rapidly permeating our living spaces. The continuous stream of richly annotated, real-time data made available by tapping into the spectrum of sensors available on these devices has led to the emergence of a sprawling ecosystem of context-aware apps. These apps use sensors such as GPS, microphone, accelerometer, and gyroscope to make diverse inferences about user activities and contexts. Typical context-aware apps employ a suite of machine learning algorithms to extract semantically meaningful inferences from sensor data. However, today's connected devices and mobile operating systems are not designed to support sensing and inference workloads. Compared with the rich network stack on pervasive devices, where one can leverage protocols and abstractions in different layers, context inference apps are composed in a monolithic fashion. That is, developers have to implement all data collection and inference logic using the raw data. As a result, the development and execution of context inference apps today are accompanied by myriad difficulties. First, the limited sensor coverage from running inferences on a single device and the need of hand-picking high-level features have made it challenging to achieve high inference accuracy in building the classification model of apps. Second, the continuous execution of complex algorithms on the main app processor of smartphones and the use of energy-hungry sensors have resulted in high energy consumption of inference apps, especially when they are executed on battery-powered pervasive devices. Finally, the monolithic development practice limits the adoption of inference apps onto heterogeneous devices, and requires enormous amount of efforts from app developers in composing the apps. In this dissertation we make three research contributions towards building a framework for pervasive context awareness:- We first showcase that context-aware inferences can benefit from heterogeneous connected devices such as smartwatches. We develop an example app to autonomously infer workout exercises of users from only sensors on a commercial smartwatch, achieving 90% classification accuracy for both cardio and weightlifting exercises while extending the watch battery life by up to 19 hours compared with prior approaches. - Having identified the problems from our example app, we then perform three optimizations of context inference apps. We have achieved (1) comparable inference accuracy as traditional models and acceptable latency using deep learning without hand-picking features; (2) up to 30x speed-up of deep learning tasks…

▼ The main vision of wearable computing is to make electronic systems an important part of everyday clothing in the future which will serve as intelligent personal assistants. Wearable devices have the potential to be wearable computers and not mere input/output devices for the human body. The present thesis focuses on introducing a new wearable computing paradigm, where the processing elements are closely coupled with the sensors that are distributed using Instruction Systolic Array (ISA) architecture. The thesis describes a novel, multiple sensor, multiple processor system architecture prototype based on the Instruction Systolic Array paradigm for distributed computing on fabrics. The thesis introduces new programming model to implement the distributed computer on fabrics. The implementation of the concept has been validated using parallel algorithms. A real-time shape sensing and reconstruction application has been implemented on this architecture and has demonstrated a physical design for a wearable system based on the ISA concept constructed from off-the-shelf microcontrollers and sensors. Results demonstrate that the real time application executes on the prototype ISA implementation thus confirming the viability of the proposed architecture for fabric-resident computing devices.

▼ Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), eXtended or MiXed Reality (XR), and Mediated Reality (MR or XYR) are examples of the new multi-axis "Multimediated (All) Reality" (XYZR or ZR) that exist at multiple scales: "wearables", "smart cars", "smart cities", etc.. ZR forms a tight feedback loop with users through Humanistic Intelligence (HI). This thesis explores Multimediated (All) Reality through HI across all physical scales: (1)the human body, exemplified by Integral Kinesiology that brings about corporeal integrity through the combination of dexterity and strength; (2)clothing, exemplified by the Open EyeTap, an affordable smart-glass design that is modular and 3D printable; (3)bicycles, exemplified by rear-view vision that helps cyclists see better; (4)vehicle mobility, exemplified by an HDR vision system that enables cars to see under a wide variety of lighting conditions; and (5)the "vironment" (invironment + environment) through sousveillant technologies (metaveillogrammetry and metaveillography).

DYNAMIC ADAPTATION OF RECOGNITION ALGORITHMS ON WEARABLES WITH MINIMAL HUMAN SUPERVISION

▼ Wearable sensors utilize machine learning algorithms to infer important events such as behavioral routine and health status of their end-users from time-series sensor data. A major obstacle in the large-scale utilization of these systems is that the machine learning algorithms for these systems are designed based on labeled training data collected, and feature representations engineered, in controlled environments. As a result, the algorithms need to be retrained from scratch in new contexts such as when the on-body location of the
wearable sensor changes or when the system is utilized by a new user. This approach has limited scalability of
wearable technologies because (i) the retraining process places a significant burden on end-users and system designers to collect and label large amounts of training sensor data, and (ii) wearables are deployed in highly dynamic environments of the end-users whose context undergoes consistent changes. These changes result in a sudden decline in performance of the recognition models trained in controlled settings. To address this challenge, this thesis proposes solutions to dynamically adapt the trained recognition models for new contexts with no or minimal human supervision. First, Share-n-Learn is introduced to automatically detect and learn physical sensor-contexts from a repository of shared expert models and activate the most accurate one for current context without interacting with the user. In the absence of shared models, the thesis provides solutions to enable a newly added sensor by autonomous training of the machine learning algorithms in real-time with no human supervision. While one solution is dedicated for target sensors with static context, another method is presented for sensors with dynamically changing context. These solutions measure the inherent correlation between observations made by an existing sensor view for which trained algorithms exist and the new sensor view for which an algorithm needs to be developed. Additionally, to learn reusable features for different contexts, TransNet, a deep learning framework is introduced that learns efficient representation from raw sensor data and quickly reconfigures the underlying model in new domains with minimal supervision. Finally, structured prediction algorithms are utilized to transfer high-level knowledge among related contexts.

▼ A Design Science methodology was used to create a context recognition method for data from a single,
wearable inertial sensor. The sensor was worn on riders right wrists. The data was associated with a rider mounting their horse within the traditional European riding style. Data was collected from 20 participants, 2 laboratory and 55 real-life data collection sessions. A manual human pattern matching search method was applied to 2 laboratory and 7 real life datasets during recognition training and two features, one within the accelerometer data and the other within the gyroscope data were identified. The method was evaluated by searching for these two features within 15 alternate datasets. The method was successful in recognising features that could be associated with mounting where riders used a hand-on-cantle mounting technique. The method did not consistently recognise features that could be associated with mounting when riders used a hand-on-front of saddle mounting technique. The researcher concluded that manual heuristic human pattern search and matching methods could be used to distinguish mounting in 11 out of 12 cases where the domain was restricted to hand-on-cantle mounting techniques and that such methods may possibly be generalised to include other mounting techniques and other contexts. The researcher also concluded that a single compound sensor can, in some instances, provide enough information within a restricted domain to enable successful context recognition.

▼ I explored two different areas in the field of mobile technology for this thesis: mobile touch interaction and immersive visual impairment simulation.Magnetic fingerprints is a new magnetic input technique for mobile touch devices. A small magnet is attached to a user's finger, where the magnet's orientation is used to define unique magnetic fingerprints. Using a device's magnetometer, touches made with a particular magnetic fingerprint can be distinguished from a non-instrumented finger. Magnetic fingerprints can also be used as part of a multitouch gestures; which significantly increases the current touch vocabulary. User studies investigate the accuracy of magnetic fingerprint recognition in relation to magnet size, number of magnetic fingerprints used; and size of the touchscreen. Studies found this technique to be limited to using up to two fingerprints nonsimultaneously, though it achieves a high classification accuracy (95%) and doubles the number of (multi) touch events.SIMVIZ is an immersive visual impairment visualization tool. Simulation of a visual impairment may lead to a better understanding of how individuals with visual impairments perceive the world around them and could be useful as a tool for interface designers to identify accessibility barriers. Current simulation tools suffer from a number of limitations, pertaining cost, accuracy and immersion. We present a simulation tool (SIMVIZ) that mounts a wide angle camera on a headmounted display to create a see-through stereoscopic display to simulate various types and levels of visual impairments. A qualitative user study evaluates the immersiveness, usability and effectiveness of SIMVIZ versus using a smartphone based simulator.

In particular, this thesis addresses the fundamental issues in the practical realization of the HI framework, most notably the dynamic range of sensors and the design of a natural human-computer interface based on three dimensional (3D) gestural input.
First, to address the dynamic range limitation of color sensors, a practical implementation of high dynamic range (HDR) image composition and tone mapping algorithms were designed on both Field-programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) and Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) to enable real-time processing of video streams. The algorithms are optimized for
wearable applications and provide a constant runtime performance independent of the scene. To demonstrate the robustness of the algorithm, a specialized DEG helmet was designed to work under the most extreme lighting condition - tungsten inert gas welding.
In addition, I discuss the development of a novel HDR technique for 3D depth sensing cameras called 3DHDR. Here, I present a method of creating 3D HDR depth maps using an array of 3D depth sensing cameras designed for
wearable applications. The system provides a tonal and spatial range that significantly exceeds the capability of any individual depth sensor.
Finally, I present an untethered
wearable solution of DEG with 3D gestural input based on 3DHDR. The recognition system provides various mode of operations and allows users to integrate gesture-based input to control the Augmediated Reality DEG system. The final prototype has been translated to a development platform for use in future
wearable computing research to further explore the HI framework.

▼ The goal of this project was to determine the feasibility of non-invasively monitoring the blood gases of construction workers for carbon monoxide exposure via pulse oximetry. In particular, this study sought to understand the impact of motion artifacts caused by the worker's activities and to determine if those activities would prevent the blood gas sensor from detecting the onset of carbon monoxide poisoning. This feasibility study was conducted using a blood oxygen sensor rather than a blood carbon monoxide sensor for several reasons. First, blood gas sensors that measure blood carbon monoxide are not readily available in suitable physical form factors. Second, sensors for blood oxygen and blood carbon monoxide operate on the same physical principles and thus will be affected in the same way by worker motions. Finally, using a blood oxygen sensor allowed the study to be conducted without exposing the human subjects to carbon monoxide. A user study was conducted to determine the distribution of motion artifacts that would be created during a typical work day. By comparing that distribution to a worst-case estimate of time to impairment, the probability that helmet will adequately monitor the worker can be established. The results of the study show that the helmet will provide a measurement capable of warning the user of on setting carbon monoxide poisoning with a probability greater than 99%.

▼ The Purpose of my thesis is to bring about the awareness of the importance of Privacy in our lives. Privacy is an essential element of a free society without which individuals would lose the ability to interact with one another in private.
With the advancement in police surveillance technology there is a clash between an individuals right to keep a secret and the State’s power to penetrate that secret. State of the art technologies such as the financial crimes enforcement network, wearable
computing and surveillance cameras are some of the latest devices invading privacy. These technological advances have become so deep rooted that some of the privacy invasion predicted for the future are alarming. In order to curb privacy invasions we
require stricter laws regulating the government’s power to interfere with our privacy rights. The shape of our future depends on how we deal with the present issues.

▼ In this thesis we develop and test a software algorithm for an electronic smart badge system. The smart badge system we have developed has the ability to figure out the interests of people who wear the badge by using time and position information collected by the badge. The badge can also present feedback to the wearer, so that users may be guided to people will similar interests and so may have more effective conversations. The smart badge system is based on an inference system which uses a Bayesian network. Evaluation of the system was challenging because there were no completed badges that could be used. To overcome this, we developed a simulation of crowd behaviour in a conference setting. We tuned the parameters of the model using several test situations and the final simulated behavior appeared realistic. Compared to other smart badge systems, our work is unique because it is able to enhance conversation by the real time inference of common ideas or interests of the conversion participants.

▼ Wearable technology, as a new application environment for electronic and computing devices of all kinds, presents many new challenges to designers. The fields of human-computer interaction and functional wearability must each address new problems in the design of wearable technology. Wearable technology also introduces new social concerns, as it can mediate the ways in which an individual is perceived by others, interacts with others, and manages his/her own physical space.
Because the field of wearable technology is very new, the design of wearable technology is still relatively unexplored. The dominant design culture in current wearable technology research, that of electrical engineering and computer science, is unused to addressing variables related to the human body, mind, and social interaction. Good design choices for wearable technology depend on understanding and acknowledging the wide array of interdisciplinary variables that affect user interaction with a wearable device. The functional apparel design culture brings an interdisciplinary approach to wearable technology design, and its structured design process offers designers a means of organizing and addressing issues, and identifying new variables to be considered in future work. This thesis seeks to use the functional apparel design process to approach the new variables involved in the interface between the body-mounted device and the human user in three areas: an input device (a bio-monitoring bra), an output device (a shoulder pad vibrotactile display), and the aesthetic and psychological issues of visual representation of technology (a set of massage shirts). These projects address physical, cognitive, and social user needs in wearable technology.
The development of the shoulder pad vibrotactile display sought to create an intuitive, visually subtle, physically comfortable tactile display device within a standard garment insert, using the volume of the shoulder pad as an integration space. The evaluation process found the use of a pre-existing garment space such as the shoulder pad to be successful for the integration of electronics, and the device to be perceptible at a low level of resolution.
The bio-monitoring bra study evaluated several variables involved in the use of garment-integrated contact (not adhesive) electrodes for bio-monitoring, an input modality that creates a low cognitive load for the user. Garment-integrated electrodes were designed to replace the medical standard adhesive electrodes, to increase the physical and social comfort of the user. Contact electrodes were tested in both an EMG (muscle activity) configuration and in an ECG (heartbeat) configuration. The ECG configuration recorded a useable signal during periods of low activity level, but the EMG configuration was not able to capture useful muscle activity data.
A set of massage shirts was developed to investigate the varying social needs of users regarding the visual display of garment functionality. Two focus groups were conducted, and an application was chosen…

▼ With the advent of commercially available heads-up-displays and other mobile information systems, there arises a need for on-body interfaces that can be used accurately and quickly without visual attention. In this dissertation, I examine methods for creating textile-based interfaces supporting effective on-body interaction and robust manufacturing techniques. Using these textile interface techniques I created prototypes to explore the human factors and constraints surrounding methods for interacting with electronic textile touch input. Specifically I looked at how the structure of the textile interfaces can take advantage of the human body’s active touch and passive touch capabilities. In one study I examined how the addition of raised embroidery affords greater opportunities for active touch interactions. I helped test raised embroidery with both multitouch and single touch interactions to improve accuracy and speed of use. In a second larger study of 104 participants, I explored how the addition of active touch and passive touch affect the accuracy and time-to-touch of the on-body textile-based prototype. This study shows that the combination of active touch and vibro-tactile passive touch improves the accuracy (by almost 9% overall and 17% in the center of the interface) and time to touch for non-visual on-body interfaces.
