ABSTRACT
We introduce Grouper, a proof-of-concept wearable wireless group coordinator. Users wear modules each consisting of a microprocessor, a wireless radio, and various electronics to provide sensory cues to users. These sensory cues alert the users to pay attention to the leader of the group, thus augmenting a leader's ability to direct a group. Wearable devices have been used to observe social interactions but few have been used to coordinate a group of users.

Wearable Sensing Framework for Human Activity Monitoring
WearSys '15: Proceedings of the 2015 workshop on Wearable Systems and ApplicationsWearable computation is getting integrated into our daily life day by day. In this work, we propose a generic framework to continuously monitor users' daily activities. The framework proposes light computation tasks on the wearable device to reduce the ...
Aerobic activity monitoring: towards a long-term approach
With recent progress in wearable sensing, it becomes reasonable for individuals to wear different sensors all day, and thus, global activity monitoring is establishing. The goals in global activity monitoring systems are among others to tell the type of ...
