    Design Challenges for Wearable Computing
    (Mensch & Computer 2007 Workshopband, 2007) Klann, Markus
    This paper suggests a specific theoretical understanding for the concept of wearable computing. This understanding is inspired by Polanyi’s theory of tacit knowledge and is also in line with a number of established theories on human-machine interaction. One way of stating tacit knowledge theory is that the capacity to carry out skilful human activities is at least partially implicit to their performance. The paper argues that the specific potential of wearable computing lies in integrating with such skilful activities and that their tacit character makes for a number of corresponding design challenges. A few major directions for addressing these challenges are outlined.

    iManual
    (Wirtschaftsinformatik: Vol. 47, No. 1, 2005) Klann, Markus; Humberg, Daniel; Wulf, Volker
    This article describes the iManual-concept developed at Fraunhofer FIT which deals with the use of mobile devices as context-aware integrated control and help systems for in principal arbitrary wirelessly connected consumer or industrial products. Following the premise of designing the interface of various IT-based products in a way that facilitates learning and respects user expectations, we explore the design space that is created by combining control and help functions by way of mobile devices. On the way, we discuss various potentials of this approach to enhance the corresponding products and services. Based on a review of the state of the art on intelligent help systems and mobile interfaces we describe the iManual concept and a prototypical implementation for a PDA-based control and help system for the navigation system of the BMW 7. We conclude with a discussion of limitations and opportunities for extension of the approach and corresponding further work.
