Abstract
Wearable computing has the image of the high-level information processing which uses the small-sized computer. However, a motion of the body is barred by the complexity of wiring or apparatus and the function of assistance of operation which is the function of original dress is disregarded in many cases. Moreover, it tends to be kept at a distance that externals look like the cyborg by a general person. On the other hand, the interface that uses the movement of the body recently is actively researched. Then, the prototype system of a good design and fit was developed for the college woman and evaluated in this research. The system has the touch interfaces that pay attention to touch communications and can do the music sharing and the voice conversation by two-way, and the switch can be done by touch.
