This paper presents a wearable groupware system designed to enhance the communication and cooperation of highly mobile network technicians. It provides technicians in the field with the capabilities for real-time audio-conferencing, transmission of video images back to the office, and context-sensitive access to a shared notebook. An infrared location-tracking device allows for the automatic retrieval of notebook entries depending on the user's current location.@en

This paper reports on an empirical study aimed at evaluating the utility of a reality-augmenting telepointer in a wearable videoconference system. Results show that using this telepointer a remote expert can effectively guide and direct a field worker's manual activities. By analyzing verbal communication behavior and pointing gestures, we were able to determine that experts overwhelmingly preferred pointing for guiding workers through physical tasks.@en

This paper presents a collaborative wearable system based on the notion of remote sensing. Remote sensing lets users of wearable or stationary computers perceive a remote environment through the sensors of a remote wearable computer. We describe a concrete system with remote sensing capability that is designed to enhance the communication and cooperation of highly mobile computer technicians.@en

This paper describes a wearable computing system for monitoring and controlling of 'intelligent' environments. The main components of the system are (1) an open, expandable service model for the description of functionality provided by environments; (2) a self-Adapting wearable computer that can function as remote interface to a wide variety of services.@en
