Context-aware wearable computing research is made difficult by the
"observer effect." Instrumenting people in ways which make them
uncomfortable or socially awkward skews the data and prevents
effective research into supporting people in their daily lives.
MIThril grew out of our need for a context-awareness research platform
that is truly wearable. As much as possible, such as system should
"disappear" into the wearer's clothing, becoming an unobtrusive and
ideally invisible platform for research applications.
