Abstract

Wearable systems are often vaguely described as electronics somehow integrated with clothing. We argue that while this is the way many systems are implemented, the definition of a wearable system is much more broad. Wearable systems are better defined through their functionality as systems that are usable always and everywhere. It is only from such functional definition that viable architectures and concepts for the integration of electronics with the users outfit can be developed.
