Acceptance by design: Towards an acceptable smart glasses-based information system based on the example of cycling training

Abstract

Smart glasses-based information systems have the potential to support cycling training and other tasks which require high attention, by the presentation of relevant information into the user's field of view to reduce (road) risks through less distraction and a hands free navigation. Nevertheless, when introduced in 2012 to the consumer market smart glasses faced acceptance problems. Therefore, acceptance is a crucial requirement in the system design. Making use of a Design Science Research approach, acceptability design requirements are derived and integrated into the design phase. This set of requirements for smart glasses-based information systems contributes to theory while specific design requirements and a design proposal for an accepted system contribute to the field. © 2018 Universitatsverlag Gottingen.
