Abstract EN
Wearable technology impacts the daily life of its users.
Wearable devices are defined as devices embedded within clothes, watches, or accessories.
Wrist-worn devices, as a type of wearable devices, have gained popularity among other wearable devices.
They allow quick access to vital information, and they are suitable for many applications.
This paper presents a comprehensive survey of wearable computing as a research field and provides a systematic review of recent work specifically on wrist-worn wearables.
The focus of this research is on wrist-worn wearable studies because there is a lack of systematic literature reviews related to this area.
This study reviewed journal and conference articles from 2015 and 2017 with some studies from 2014 and 2018, resulting in a selection of 54 studies that met the selection criteria.
The literature showed that research in wrist-worn wearables spans three domains, namely, user interface and interaction studies, user studies, and activity/affect recognition studies.
Our study then concludes with challenges and open research directions.
