“…Wearable simulations and sensory augmentation wearables aim to evoke, through a combination of sensations, novel perceptual experiences (Gibb et al, 2015) and "enhance" our sensorial field. These wearables may enable people to experiment ill-health conditions at work (Gibb et al, 2015) and to "sense" information that are commonly not available for us, like feeling orientation information gained by the magnetic field (Nagel et al, 2005), or seeing ultraviolet radiation on the body (Zhang et al, 2013). We may focus on two examples of this kind of wearables: i) Force Jacket, which is an array of pneumatically-actuated airbags and force sensors that provide feel effects such as punch, hug, and snake moving across the body (Delazio et al, 2018); and ii) TreeSense (Liu & Qian, 2017), which is a tactile experience of being a tree, where wearables trigger novel tactile sensations that are not "naturally" possible (Fig.…”

Wearable technologies are increasing both in number and variety enabling new ways for collecting personal data, as well as novel interaction modalities. Even though the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) community has widely explored the potential applications of wearables, its theoretical contribution on this research field has been far from impressive. Most scholars and designers seem to rely on a series of dominant assumptions that look at wearables "from the outside" by focusing on their "external properties." When these assumptions are fully embraced at design-time, however, they may cloud opportunities for designing for the "internal aspects" of our everyday experience. In this article, I propose a theory that looks at wearables "from the inside," giving a theoretical backdrop to all those wearable designs that pay attention to the internal aspects of interaction. By adopting a postphenomenological approach, I conceptualize wearable devices as "extensions" of our intentionality and introduce the "extension relation" to explain how wearables may alter how we relate to the world. In doing so, I propose a series of design considerations that aim to trace future research lines for all those wearables that are currently designed from an "externalistic" perspective.

“…Construction safety is an acknowledged problem across the industry (Talabi et al ., 2019). There have been continued efforts to make safety improvements, particularly on large projects (e.g., London 2012, Shiplee et al ., 2011), with a more recent emphasis on occupational and worker health (Gibb et al ., 2015;Jones et al ., 2019).…”

Worker fatigue is an important risk factor in civil engineering and construction projects, particularly when night-time shift working is required. It is a significant cause of accidents and negatively affects health and well-being. Biomathematical models can be used to assess and reduce fatigue risk. Research funded by Tideway, the company delivering London’s Thames Tideway Tunnel, was carried out to explore the current use and knowledge of such models in tunnelling, and to produce guidance on how the models can be used for fatigue management within the wider construction industry. The research identified limitations in how the tunnelling sector currently applies fatigue modelling. Knowledge and understanding of the models need to increase throughout construction for them to be effective and used appropriately. It is also important for an industry consensus on acceptable fatigue risk to be reached.
