[en] Early research on head-worn computers (HWCs)
has focused on hardware and specific applications. However,
there is little research about the everyday usage of head-worn
computers in particular aspects such as: context of use, social
acceptance across different activities, audiences and interaction
techniques. This paper provides insights into the use of head-
worn computers by capturing the opinions of novice and expert
users through a survey, a three-week diary study, and interviews.
The overarching finding is that the context of use is critical, ei-
ther due to the need to support micro-interactions, or because the
interaction paradigm itself should depend on the context of use.
