Simulation and augmentation: Issues of wearable computers

摘要: As the physical and digital worlds interact, some fields of technoscience have started to shift from an approach emphasizing simulation – in which is replicated one focusing on augmentation, utilized enhance physical. A good place study implications this has individual field personal wearable technologies. Here, body not simply extended by information communication technologies (ICTs), but also becomes their intimate host. This represents a new step conceptualization synergy between (body) technology (environment), affects ways role character each actor are defined. paper explores theoretical re-orientations underpinning development computers how these shape relationship environment.
