Abstract
This paper provides a provocative view of wearable computer research over the years, starting with the first IEEE International Symposium on Wearable Computers in 1997. The goal of this paper is to reflect on the original research challenges from the first few years. With this goal in mind, two questions can be examined: 1) have we achieved the goals we set out? and 2) how has the direction of research changed in the past fifteen years? This is not a survey paper, but a platform to stimulate discussion.
