Abstract

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.
