“…The inauguration of MR HMD technologies in the public domain has enhanced peoples wellbeing, conceptualisation and personal lifestyle (Kalantari, 2017). These wearable technologies are designed to interconnect and allow simultaneous realtime communication and information retrieval (Park, Chung, & Jayaraman, 2014). The primary function of these devices is to amalgamate the real world and a virtual spectrum into a singular viewpoint by changing the user's perception of the real environment (Rauschnabel, 2018).…”

In recent years the applications of Mixed Reality (MR) processing has become highly apparent in academia and the manufacturing industry with the release of innovative technologies such as the Microsoft HoloLens. However, crucial design issues with the HoloLens' restricted Field Of View (FOV) to a narrow window of 34 degrees inhibited the user's natural peripheral vision (Kress & Cummings, 2017). This visual limitation results in a loss of pre-set functions and projected visualisations in the AR application window. This paper presents an innovative methodology in designing a spatial User Interface (UI), to minimise the adverse effects associated with the HoloLens' narrow FOV. The spatial UI is a crucial element towards developing a museum-based MR system, which was evaluated by nine experts in Human-Computer interaction (HCI), visual communication and museum studies. Results of this study indicate a positive user reaction towards the accessibility of the spatial UI system and enhancing the user experience. This approach can help current and future HoloLens developers to extend their application functions without visual restrictions and missing content.

“…Further, in terms of performance, these devices can outperform than laptops and a smart phone, consequently the researcher thinks that they can easily replace the competitors in future. The author in [10] argues that awareness and knowledge these devices have been increased, which is positively affecting manufacturers intentions to release new versions of wearable technologies to the market. It has been argued that wearable devices possess significant potential for dramatically changing the landscape for societies and businesses as they can largely add to individuals' wellbeing and ultimately help them to make relatively batter and rational decision.…”

It has been observed that the smartwatches have emerged quickly on the digital era with the ability to significantly influence daily life and improve users' wellbeing, decisions, and behaviour. Nonetheless they are in their stages of adoption, smartwatches are marked the most widespread type of wearable technologies. Considering this, present work has been carried out to intensify the scholarly understanding of determinants that affecting consumers' behaviour of purchasing intention, to reach this objective, an integrated model based on Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) was designed and examined. An online questionnaire was utilized for the collected data (n=106). The empirical analysis based on partial least square method, using SmartPLS software. The findings exposed that visibility, social influence, and perceived ease of use are the proximate factors that drive adoption intention. Further, the analysis reveals that Consumers' purchasing intention is significantly influenced by intention to use and cost. The extent of these factors is influenced by consumers' perception of smartwatches as a technology and as a fashion accessory. Present study has also attempted to scholarly discuss the theoretical and managerial implications.

“…Nonetheless, there are several challenges that still must be overcome by manufacturers, including data loss, security breaches, lack of personalization, ethical dilemmas, and more (Lymberis, 2003), all while working to improve the overall health of the user. These factors are important to the future development and acceptance of smart wearable devices (Park, Chung, & Jayaraman, 2014). Thus, their manufacturing is not a trivial task.…”

“…Other printing techniques such as nanoimprinting are expensive because of the molds and short lifetimes, therefore affecting process expenditures as well as overall product cost. With advancing technology, it is projected that the manufacturing and assembly costs related to wearables will decrease by the employment of techniques such as "roll-to-roll" printing of textile-based wearables and the convergence of microelectronics, optics, and bio-technologies (Park et al, 2014). Another opportunity for cost reduction lies in the involvement of insurance companies as a stakeholder.…”
