Page 14: Research news on AI wearables
AI wearables encompass body-worn devices such as smart glasses, haptic garments, e-textiles, earbuds, and neural or neuromotor interfaces that integrate sensing, computation, and feedback to mediate human–computer interaction. In extended reality contexts, these systems support embodied interaction, accessibility for blind, deafblind, and motor-impaired users, and novel modalities for communication, navigation, and education. Research spans perception and embodiment in virtual and mixed reality, social acceptability and adoption, and application domains from cultural heritage and tourism to workplace safety and battlefield control.
