“…When compared to the findings with BubbleBadge [13], where the most fun was had by the spectators, it is interesting to realize the impact of civil inattention. It was clear from the users' responses that when attention was not received, the biggest factor for fun came from sharing.…”

Abstract. Wearable technologies are often used for supporting our daily lives instead of aiming to be entertaining. Yet it is in our daily lives that clothing is used to highlight our personas and engage others. In this paper, we describe what type of social acceptance issues might be worth to consider when it comes to entertaining and engaging wearable technology. Our user study with 10 participants was conducted by wearing a T-shirt that served as a display for an online game. The participants wore the T-shirt in their everyday surroundings. We gained a preliminary understanding on peoples' reactions and the suitability of this type of wearable technology for everyday usage. Our results indicate that established social boundaries for inappropriate attention influence the spectator experience with performative wearable technologies.

“…While previous wearable research has focused either entirely on the wearer (e.g., [3,9]), or entirely on the glancer (e.g., [5,18]), we allow an interchangeable approach, laying the groundwork for others to build upon. Our work not only sketches out a design space for the approach, but also investigates many of the issues and concerns over noticeability, visibility and social acceptability, generating many interesting questions and discussions relevant to the community.…”

Current uses of smartwatches are focused solely around the wearer's content, viewed by the wearer alone. When worn on a wrist, however, watches are often visible to many other people, making it easy to quickly glance at their displays. We explore the possibility of extending smartwatch interactions to turn personal wearables into more public displays. We begin opening up this area by investigating fundamental aspects of this interaction form, such as the social acceptability and noticeability of looking at someone else's watch, as well as the likelihood of a watch face being visible to others. We then sketch out interaction dimensions as a design space, evaluating each aspect via a web-based study and a deployment of three potential designs. We conclude with a discussion of the findings, implications of the approach and ways in which designers in this space can approach public wrist-worn wearables.

“…Social wearables have been defined as wearable technology that augments co-located social interaction [30]. Such technologies have already been developed from early experiments with digital badges [15] to displays integrated into clothes [10,11] and accessories [7] to augmented reality fashion [17,29,40]. Also kinetics [23] and interactive cosmetics [48] have extended the forms of expression with wearables.…”
