integration of the wearability principles identified by various researchers for aesthetics
affordance comfort contextual-awareness customization ease of use ergonomy intuitiveness
obtrusiveness information overload privacy reliability responsiveness satisfaction
subtlety user friendliness and wearability. The book is based on the AHFE 2017 Conferences on
Human Factors and Wearable Technologies and AHFE 2017 Conferences on Human Factors and Game
