Abstract
One of the perennial criticisms of work in the field of wearable technology is that nobody seems to be wearing it! This is despite stunning advances in the underlying technology. At the Ninth ISWC there was a feeling that wearable computing development needs to progress on the issue of user acceptability. This poster describes a pilot survey of designers working within the field. The results provide a snapshot of wearable technology design practice and how user centered design (UCD) is perceived with the field.
