Abstract

This paper presents the development and initial usertrial of a wearable computer for collecting andannotating images for field-working applications. Theapplication is based upon the need for fieldarchaeologists to collect accurate records of finds,although it is proposed that the application can beeasily adapted to a host of field-based activities. Theimages are collected via a webcam and then georectified,if required. Users can then annotate theresultant images using a layered system of annotations.The user trial indicates that such an approach issuperior to conventional paper-based methods.
