构建实用的可穿戴计算机系统的主要挑战是向人类用户显示或传输信息的输出设备的开发。人们在轻量、高分辨率的视觉显示器上投入了大量精力。这样的努力是合理的，因为视觉显示仍然是大多数计算系统使用的主要输出设备。除了视觉显示外，听觉显示正在成为多媒体系统的标准。视觉最适合感知文字和图形，最适合听声音和音乐，而触觉则与非语言交流密切相关。无论是轻拍肩膀以引起别人的注意，还是坚定地握手以表达信任，触摸使我们能够通过身体接触直接与人和环境交换信息。皮肤是我们身体最大的器官，但只有一小部分（即手）参与大多数人机交互。
A major challenge in building practical wearable computer systems is the development of output devices to display or transmit information to the human user. Much effort has been devoted to visual displays that are lightweight and have high resolution. Such efforts are warranted since visual displays are still the dominant output devices used by most computing systems. Auditory displays are now becoming the norm of multimedia systems in addition to visual displays. Whereas vision is best suited for perceiving text and graphics, and audition for speech and music, the sense of touch is intimately involved in nonverbal communication. Whether it is a tap on the shoulder to get someone's attention or a firm handshake to convey trust, touch enables us to exchange information directly with people and the environment through physical contact. The skin is the largest organ of our body, yet only a small portion of it (i.e., the hands) is engaged in most human-computer interactions.
