Ambient Intelligence and Wearable Computing: Sensors on the Body, in the Home, and Beyond.
Ambient intelligence has a history of focusing on technologies that are integrated into a person's environment. However, ambient intelligence can be found on a person's body as well. In this thematic issue we examine the role of wearable computing in the field of ambient intelligence. In this article we provide an overview of the field of wearable computing and discuss its relationship to the fields of smart environments and ambient intelligence. In addition, we introduce the papers presented in the thematic issue highlighting a number of research projects which are defining the state of the art in wearable computing and ambient intelligence.
