We present EnhancedTouch, a novel bracelet-type wearable device for facilitating human-human physical touch. In particular, we aim to support children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), who often exhibit particular communication patterns, such as lack ...

Augmented Information Display (AiD) is an LCD-based communicative display device that transmits both visible (RGB) and invisible (infrared) information using temporal and spectral multiplexing. A field-sequential backlight system switches between a ...

This paper presents a novel technique to enable over-body propagation at 60 GHz. A flexible material has been created that enables the propagation of surface waves around the body without the need of repeaters, high powers or high gain antennas. The ...

In this paper we present an innovative monitoring system, that has been developed by applying new advances in wireless intelligent sensors and wireless technologies(PAN). Intelligent wireless sensors perform data acquisition and limited processing. ...

This article presents an in-depth introduction and analysis of the low-data-rate portion of the IEEE standard 802.15.5 that targets on providing mesh capabilities to low-rate Wireless Personal Area Networks. As major contributors of this standard, we ...

Evolving device capabilities and network technologies make the seamless combination of personal area and wide area networks capable and desirable to exploit advantages of each of the environments. By this, the vision of adaptive and context-aware ...

In spite of recent advances of personal communication devices and access network technology, users are still facing the issues such as high device maintenance costs, complication of inter-device cooperation, illegal access to devices, and leakage of ...

This paper is a call for the technological provision of homecare to be seen in the wider context of the development of the Internet, and the connected benefits that it brings to the elderly citizen. Recent discussions on the Ubiquitous Web at ...

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) that comprise low end devices (power, battery, cost, and life) are becoming increasingly important because they are poised to render a broad range of military and other commercial applications such as in Personal Area ...

The paper deals with the possibility of data transfer, using a human body as a transfer channel. A physically separated transmitter and receiver are located in clothes on various parts of the human body. The individual parts that perform data ...

In order to monitor the variation of body temperature from multi-patient in real-time in the hospital room, a miniaturized wireless telemetry module based on PAN was designed and implemented in this paper. The transmitting part of telemetry system ...

In this paper we propose a new efficient authentication protocol that reduces a burden of computation for digital signature generation/verification on mobile devices in the personal area network. In particular, we focus on eliminating the traditional ...

The focus of this paper is on the development of textile-based wearable electronics that can be integrated into military protective clothing. A materials and manufacturing survey was conducted to determine the best performing and most durable materials ...

Only by making computing intimate to the body can products begin to know our states of mind, our contexts, our states of health, etc. and respond (or have other aspects of the world respond) in intelligent ways. Sympathetic products, driven by computers ...

More and more, people will continuously be using ubiquitously available networked computational devices as they go about their lives: small personal devices that they carry, appliances that they find in their surroundings, and servers in remote data ...

One goal of wearable computing is to create digital devices that are as easy to don and as comfortable to wear as common articles of clothing such as blouses, pants, and belts. New forms of woven materials such as conductive webbings, which incorporate ...
