A Wearable Communication Support System based on History and Interest Similarity

In this paper, we will present a framework for supporting local area communication and its prototype system. In the framework, wearable communications tools are to be used that have two features. One is automatic terminal-to-terminal communication, and the other is a HMD based information display. Terminal-to-terminal connection is automatically established among users who are near to each other. Note that the system does not rely on any network infrastructure or a special central server. Instead, each system is equivalent and connected to each other directly by using wireless functions. Once the connection is established, various kinds of information are exchanged among users and shown on each user’s head mounted display to enhance communication.
