  • Abstract
    Along with the development of wearable computers or wearable interface for portable communications, authors are focusing on the research to the applications of wearable equipment. Currently, the wearable computer is required to have same performance as those of conventional PC. However, there are limitations in the capability of I/O devices. Furthermore, it is not easy for a person to use these devices when he/she is walking or doing something. Therefore, this paper proposes and presents a wearable "Personal Assistant" tool featuring simple human interface.
