the device on or off.
Multi-Tasking :
Wearable device provides computational support even
when the user’s hands, voice, eyes, or attention is
actively engaged with the physical environment.
Mobility :
Wearable devices must go where the wearer goes.
They are always on and their wearer can access them
anytime.
