Wearable Communities: Augmenting Social Networks with Wearable Computers

Wearable communities-social networks based on computer-augmented face-to-face encounters-present both social and technical design challenges. Our WearCom design methodology permits rapid prototyping of wearable community systems to facilitate community building.
