Abstract

Profiles describing the abilities and specificities of individual wearers enable smart clothes to fundamentally and continuously personalize their behavior, suggesting or selecting useful, comfortable and efficient services and interaction modes. First, we suggest foundations for the design of personal profiles for the general public based on perception, bodily characteristics, culture, language, memory, and spatial abilities. Then, we sketch reactions towards profiles for oneself and one's family based on a 2008 pilot study in Japan. Accordingly, we discuss the creation, update, use and dissemination of profiles, and finally perspectives for future social investigations.
