Abstract

Wearable vision brings about new opportunities for augmenting humans in social interactions. However, along with it comes privacy concerns and possible information overload. We explore users' needs and attitudes toward augmented interaction in face-to-face communications. In particular, we want to find out whether users need additional information when interacting with acquaintances, what information they want to access, and how they use it. Based on observations of user behaviors in interactions assisted by Google Glass, we find that users in general appreciated the usefulness of wearable assistance for social interactions. We highlight a few key issues of how wearable devices affect user experience in social interaction.
