Abstract: This talk introduces curiosity-driven research that explores science and technology to build the next generation of head-worn computer systems. We aim to create head-worn systems that are robust, sustainable, cost-effective, low-burden, and socially acceptable, thereby unlocking new applications in human-computer interaction and disease monitoring. The development of these systems poses significant challenges, requiring a rethink of both hardware and software frameworks, the implementation of advanced ML algorithms, and carefully planned interdisciplinary efforts. This presentation puts forth an approach to building practical head-worn computers, highlighted by motivating applications our lab has worked on: (a) head-worn computers designed for interactive computing and the monitoring of epileptic seizures and (b) a retainer-based device for identifying dental occlusal issues. This talk will conclude with the lessons learned from deploying such a system in multiple real-world settings and discuss its future research directions.
