ABSTRACT
Wearable displays can be helpful in the winter outdoors, where using a mobile phone is difficult due to gloves. In this paper, we explore the concept of integrating a graphical navigator display into a skiing glove. We created a prototype that was trialed on the slopes while snowboarding. After this, we organized a focus group with snowboarders and downhill skiers to evaluate the concept and wearable display use cases in the winter mountain context. The results emphasize use cases that focus on the awareness of group members for safety, navigation, and unobtrusive and simple design.

Towards Increasing Bodily Awareness During Sports with Wearable Displays
UbiComp '18: Proceedings of the 2018 ACM International Joint Conference and 2018 International Symposium on Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing and Wearable ComputersPast studies have shown that commercial sports tracking technologies do not often provide the desired level of awareness of one's own body, and they are often abandoned after intermittent usage. In this position paper, we explore design possibilities ...
Shoe integrated displays: a prototype sports shoe display and design space
NordiCHI '18: Proceedings of the 10th Nordic Conference on Human-Computer InteractionIn this paper, we address shoes as a platform for wearable displays. To open research on the area, we present a functional prototype of a display integrated to a sports shoe. The prototype utilizes three different areas of LEDs attached to the shoe as a ...
