Week 10 – Wearables
This week we are introducing the concept of wearable computing. We will cover some of the challenges of developing wearables from technical and non-technical perspective. We'll also talk a little about 'Wear OS by Google' (which is Google's rebranded 'Android Wear'). Smartwatches in particular were predicted to have had an explosion in use; they've not disappeared by any means, but they've not become the next 'must have' that everyone keeps with them all the time. Why is this?

Week 9 – Gesture-based computing
Back in Week 2 we talked about the challenges of interaction in mobile and ubiquitous computing contexts. And this week we're coming back to it in a different way – gestures. Gestures are often thought of as being a natural part of communication. Could they be a good fit for contexts were a keyboard and mouse is not really appropriate? This week we'll be covering some of the conceptual aspects surrounding gesture-based computing as well as some of the technical challenges involved.
