Abstract
Wearables are becoming the next Big Thing, and it is clear that they will become increasingly integrated into the Web of Things, instead of just being standalone resources that are not linked into the Web. Such a Web of Wearables will make wearables as easily accessible as other Web resources, allowing new classes of applications and systems to use them. This Web of Wearables will establish an ecosystem noticeably different from the current Web with more ties to the real world, more ties to personal information and data, and more ways to interact with the real world. It remains to be seen which applications and systems will emerge, but the designs of today will have an impact on what is possible tomorrow, so we should strive to make sure that the ecosystem we design is open, extensible, and flexible.
