First results show on the one hand a successful result, in form of an application. Preliminary results suggest also good work on transferring requirements to application including the usefulness of the provided default layout and interaction styles by the toolkit. On the other hand the development process itself performed very well. The WUI-Toolkit approach speed up the development process of wearable application, although it is still under development. The basic idea to first formalize the programming of the UI with a structured abstract model to more easily split the content and the structure, the WUI-Toolkit can be introduced in an early stage of the development process and can be used continuously through the whole development process. Even though the development team had to cover different aspects of application development, e.g., requirements elicitation, content creation, classical application development and the integration of new services into the WUI-Toolkit the concurrent character of the WUI-Toolkit allowed a fast and in great parts parallel work of all team members.
The very next steps are a deeper analysis of the application through an extended user study together with maintenance operators. These results will obviously affect first the interaction styles of the WUI-Toolkit as well as the services integrated in the WUI-Toolkit that provides these functionalities. To improve not only the UI of the application, but also to shift the toolkit to another maturity level focus has to be more on the application developer challenges.
The WUI-Toolkit will be introduced in other scenarios than the maintenance sector to gain experiences and feedback from a number of application developers. Optimizing the usability of the toolkit itself will accelerate the wearable application development once more.
