Wearable Camera(also: Body-worn Camera, Head-mounted Camera, Egocentric Camera)

A camera worn on the body — typically mounted on glasses, a hat, or the chest — that captures images or video from the wearer's perspective (egocentric view). In assistive technology for blind and low vision users, wearable cameras coupled with computer vision can provide…

Wearable Haptic Device(also: Haptic Wearable, Vibrotactile Wearable)

A body-worn device that delivers tactile feedback through vibration motors, actuators, or other mechanisms to convey information to the wearer through the sense of touch. Wearable haptic devices range from simple single-motor wristbands to multi-motor armbands, gloves, and belts…

Wearable Haptics(also: Wearable Haptic Device)

Haptic feedback systems designed to be worn on the body — rings, wristbands, gloves, vests, shoes, or exoskeletons — that deliver tactile, vibrotactile, or kinesthetic cues during mobile, hands-free use. Wearable haptics are a core building block of assistive navigation,…

Wearable Sensor(also: Body-Worn Sensor, Wearable Device)

A small electronic device worn on the body that continuously collects data about the wearer's movements, physiological state, or environment. In accessibility and rehabilitation contexts, wearable sensors such as accelerometers, gyroscopes, and inertial measurement units can…

Wearable Sensors(also: Body-Worn Sensors, Wearable Sensor Technology)

Electronic devices worn on the body that collect data about movement, physiological signals, or environmental conditions. In accessibility contexts, wearable sensors include accelerometers, gyroscopes, and inertial measurement units (IMUs) embedded in clothing, shoes, watches,…
