25 Years of ISWC

Much has changed in the landscape of wearables research since the first International Symposium on Wearable Computers (ISWC) was organized in 1997. The authors, many of whom were active in this community since the beginning, reflect now 25 years later on the role of the conference, emerging research methods, the devices, and ideas that have stood the test of time—such as fitness/health sensors or augmented reality devices—as well as the ones that can be expected still to come, like everyday head-worn displays.
