Welcome to the OWCG website!

There is no single standardization organization related to wearable computing.

ongoing standardization is spread over a wide range of different standardization organizations

    - addressing only isolated aspects of wearable computing
    - as a part of a more general technological vision
    - E.g. ISO and IEEE/ACM deal with aspects of wearable computing and are major players in a particular technology sector

focused on technological aspects

    - not following a broader more systemic approach
    - different workgroups or special interest groups around
    - helping to realize an overall vision

OWCG as awareness and standardization organization

    - Monitoring ongoing standardization activities
    - Demand driven standardization
    - Facilitate the establishment of applied Wearable Computing

OWCG motivates cooperation between different stakeholders

    - Solve difficult interoperability issues in wearable computing
    - Bringing technology from lab and niche to an industrial standard

Technologies used in wearable computing will become more and more important

Knowing and influencing standards is crucial in determining whether a technology is adopted or not
