Abstract :
Communication asymmetries are inherent in collaborative dialogues between wearable computer and desktop users. We give a definition and overview of what communication asymmetries are and their potential impact on the design of collaborative wearable interfaces. We also review results from collaborations with two asymmetric interfaces and present a set of implications for developers of collaborative wearable interfaces.
