Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this project we focus on determining relations between easy to wear sensing technology, comprehension and other skills related to expertise. We were not only able to introduce new features and sensing modalities for tracking expertise related metrics but also to define a new research community focusing on related problems around the novel field of eye wear computing to use for unobtrusive expertise and cognitive task tracking. We co-organized several workshops co-located with UbiComp, as well as introduced the new concept "eye wear computing" for tracking expertise in a Dagstuhl Seminar http://www.dagstuhl.de/16042 . Dagstuhl Seminars are listed in the Top 200 of Computer Science conferences according to Microsoft Academic Search related to citations and are used to establish novel research directions. The major outcomes of the project are not only research publications (2 journal 1 book chapter, 12 peer-reviewed conference) but also the new formation of a research community.
