Abstract
This paper presents approach to usability evaluation on sensor smart clothing that the methodologies can be divided into two categories. 1) usability evaluation that gather data from actual users on sensor smart clothing. 2) investigation weight values which is calculated for evaluation item. The result of usability evaluation shows that SC(sensor controller) influence on overall usability of sensor smart clothing. Effective item and module is social acceptance of SC, wearability of GC(general connector) & PA(platform appearance), usefulness of GC & PA and maintenance(400) of PA & SC. To estimate the sensor smart clothing, task process was applied and the components on the response of user were investigated. This study was performed to determine how effects the properties of sensor smart clothing. Our study suggests that usability evaluation may be important within design process of sensor smart clothing.
