ISWC 2012 best papers

摘要

This special issue of Pervasive and Ubiquitous Computing includes three invited papers that are extended versions of best paper-nominated submissions to the sixteenth International Symposium on Wearable Computers (ISWC), held from June 18-22, 2012, in Newcastle, UK. The first paper, entitled Airwriting: A Wearable Handwriting Recognition System by Christoph Amma, Marcus Georgi, and Tanja Schultz describes a system for the recognition of handwriting gestures in real time that allows users to write in free space in an equivalent manner to writing on a white board or wall. It includes a description of a wireless glove-worn device to sense writing movement along with a description and evaluation of the algorithms and language model used to predict handwriting. It will be of interest to researchers wanting to exploit gesturing in user interfaces by extending them to natural handwriting.
