Oct 13-14 IEEE International Symposium on Wearable Computers (ISWC)
The International Symposium on Wearable Computers (ISWC) is the first annual conference on computers that are worn as clothing. The conference is peer reviewed and sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society. The purpose of ISWC is to bring together researchers, product vendors, research sponsors, and other interested persons to share information and advances in wearable computers and augmented reality. The conference will include paper presentations, exhibitions, poster sessions, and informal demonstrations.
Registration is now open at
http://mime1.marc.gatech.edu/wearcon/
Reserve your space before SEPTEMBER 1ST for the best hotel rates.
A list of topics from the CFP and the advance program is below.
Please forward!
