Winspect: a case study for wearable computing-supported inspection tasks

Abstract

Introduces the Winspect project-an application of wearable computing in an industrial inspection process-with focus on its user interface. We present a case study to demonstrate the benefit of wearable input devices and the use of implicit interaction as a complementary technique. Two almost independent tasks from the application domain are addressed: the input of findings for inspected components in a harsh environment, and a technique to overcome the display resolution when browsing a hypertext-like documentation.
