The Wearable User Interface Toolkit

Abstract

Chapter 6 proposed a process-driven approach to develop wearable user interfaces. An evaluation method and a special software tool where identified as the central elements to facilitate the evaluation and implementation of a wearable computing application. The last four chapters took up the proposed evaluation method and evaluated interface components as well as examining interaction issues. This chapter introduces a prototypical implementation of the envisioned software tool for wearable user interface development. It can take our findings and make them available for reuse in many different wearable computing applications. The software architecture of the toolkit is presented along with its central technical aspects, and we will look at how the toolkit can be used by developers in the application development process.
