“…This can be done by using e-books, video/audio broadcasting, games, internet, and On Demand services. On the other hand, physical problems can range from stiffness and fatigue to the threat of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) (Westelaken et al, 2010). IFE systems can provide different solutions such as video guided exercises to decrease fatigue, and seat sensors to monitor the passenger's health status In fact, passengers from highly heterogeneous pools (i.e., age, gender, ethnicity, etc...) cause an impact on the adaptive interface systems.…”

“…A sensory system integrated in IFE system can provide a way to sense bad health conditions of passengers having health problem, and either inform the crew members or perform an action to reduce the effect. (Schumm et al, 2010) and (Westelaken et al, 2010) suggest solutions based on sensory systems embedded in passenger's seat to sense his current status. (Schumm et al, 2010) introduce the design of smart seat containing sensors to measure Electrocardiogram (ECG), Electrodermal Activity (EDA), respiration, and skin temperature.…”

“…However, the challenge is how to stimulate passengers to do them. (Westelaken et al, 2010) introduces a solution to reduce physical and psychological stress by detecting body movements and gestures to be used as an input for interactive applications in the IFE system. The basic idea for implementing these applications is to allow the passenger to participate in a gaming activity.…”

“…The study of Fu et al (2012) found that older people prefer using the touch-panel interface to joy sticks and traditional remote control. In addition to controlling with hand movements, Westelaken et al (2011) developed a new aircraft cockpit personal entertainment system. The user may use lower-limb posture and center of gravity of the body to control the game.…”

This study investigated the effect of display type, play-rest schedule and game type on visual fatigue, heart rate and mental workload for both genders during 1 h of Wii game playing. Twenty subjects participated in the experiment. Two display types (a 32-in CRT display and a 32-in plasma display), two different play-rest schedules (10 min play with 5 min rest, repeated four times; 20 min play with 10 min rest, repeated two times) and two Nintendo ''Wii Sports'' games (boxing and tennis) were used for evaluation. The study results showed that the display and game type had a significant effect on all the measurements. The use of a plasma display to play video games improved the critical flicker fusion (CFF) frequency threshold; however, it also caused a greater subjective eyefatigue rating, increased heart rate, as well as higher mental workload. Subjects with a 5-min break for every 10 min played had a lower subjective eye-fatigue rating, heart rate and mental workload than with a 10-min break for every 20 min played. The gender effect was not significant on any of the measurements. Implications of the results regarding video-game playing are discussed in terms of display and game type. Playing video games with frequent short breaks is suggested for reducing visual fatigue, especially for intensive video games.

It is estimated that by the year 2020, 700 million wearable technology devices will be sold worldwide. One of the reasons is the industries' need to increase their productivity. Some of the tools welcomed by industries are handheld devices such as tablets, PDAs and mobile phones. However, handheld devices are not ideal for industrial applications because they often subject users to fatigue during their long working hours. A viable solution to this problem is wearable devices. The advantage of wearable devices is that they become part of the user. Hence, they subject the user to less fatigue, thereby increasing their productivity. This chapter presents the development of an intelligent glove, which is designed to control actuators in an industrial environment. This system utilizes RTI connext data distributed service middleware to facilitate communication over WiFi. Our experiments show very promising results with maximum power consumption of 310 mW and latency as low as 23 ms. These results make the proposed system a perfect fit for most industrial applications.capabilities and energy efficiency. But recent developments in embedded systems have given rise to smaller yet more powerful embedded processors. As such, researchers are now turning their attention toward wearable devices.In wearable sensor network (WeSN), sensor nodes are designed to gather physiological and kinetic data from the wearers' bodies [4]. These devices extend the users' intelligence and their ability to interact with the environment. They also take advantage of the intimacy between the user, the computer and the environment [5]. Wearable sensors can be helpful in industrial applications that require mobile users [6]. They provide more natural avenues of interacting with the system [7,8]. In some scenarios handheld devices are inapplicable or too expensive [9,10]. Furthermore, embedded devices are design specific. Therefore, they are optimized for a given function, unlike their handheld counterparts. This gives them upper hand when it comes to accuracy and reliability [11].Anliker et al. [12] discussed the properties of a good WeSN. The authors stated that a good WeSN should have: (1)The ability to act in a proactive manner rather than depend on user's commands;(2) the ability to gather complex information regarding the user's interaction with the world; (3) high connectivity and mobility; (4) the ability to process wide variety of data at high speeds with low power consumption; (5) the ability to combine I/O devices and sensors from different parts of the body into one heterogeneous system; and (6) inconspicuous appearance such that it does not change the users' look in an unacceptable way or hinder the user from carrying out his/her normal day-to-day activities.Sadly, there has been little research in WeSN with focus on industrial applications. This is due to the fact that distributed embedded systems at an industrial scale are not easy to maintain and control. In this chapter, we present the development of an intelligent hand glove for an i...
