Methodology and software development platform for wearable computers

This paper provides a methodology for designing and developing a common software framework for wearable computers. We have presented some important features that are important in designing and developing a software platform. The designed and realized common platform for wearable computer is easily adaptable to any application with few changes. A prototype is created and installed in a wearable computer, called Xybernaut Mobile Assistant V. The prototype is evaluated in an emergency rescue scenario. The evaluation results show that the prototype is enhancing the efficiency of the user.
