Current projects

WearIT@Work

WearIT@Work is an EU-research project with the aim to create a platform for the development of wearable computers for mobile workers. 35 industrial partners in Europe are involved, working on hardware, software, human comuter interaction (HCI) and social factors. Within a cooperation between TU Darmstadt and SAP Research, I am working on HCI issues for the application of wearable computing in the health care/hospital setting.
