Yao, X. (author), Yang, Y. (author), Vledder, G. (author), Xu, J. (author), Song, Y. (author), Vink, P. (author)Wearables are used to recognize human activities in various applications. However, there is limited evidence on the comfort feelings in using wearables, which is crucial for the adoption and long-term engagement of users in those applications. In this paper, we propose the concept of comfort wearables in the context of in-flight posture...journal article 2023
