Position Paper for the CSCW ’98 Workshop on Hand Held CSCW Spatial Conferencing using a Wearable Computer
نویسنده
چکیده
Wearable computers are the most recent generation of portable machines. Worn on the body, they provide constant access to computing and communications resources. In general, a wearable computer may be defined as a computer that is subsumed into the personal space of the user, controlled by the wearer and has both operational and interactional constancy, i.e. is always on and always accessible [1]. Wearables computers are typically composed of a belt or back pack PC, see-though or see-around head mounted display (HMD), wireless communications hardware and an input device such as touchpad or chording keyboard.

CSCW (Computer Supported Cooperative Work) is an idea that was demonstrated as early as in the 1960s by Engelbart’s pioneering work on the On-Line System (NLS) [Eng75a], which offered computer-supported conferencing. Since that time, a variety of CSCW applications have been developed at several research laboratories and universities. Education is an inherently cooperative activity involving at ...
متن کاملA common notification service
CORBA is a promising software platform for CSCW applications. However, the current CORBA ORBs only provide low-level services. Building CSCW applications is still a complex task. In this paper, we discuss how a common notification service can be added to the CORBA architecture to deal with common user interface events in a distributed environment. This notification service is based on the alrea...
