Here you will find the lates version of the HotWire software that has been developed to support data collection in user studies. The software contains modules to easily log HotWire events, but also provides a generic mechanism to log arbitrary events from other applications.

The figure above shows an example how the HotWire software can be integrated in an experiment setup. A stationary computer (Server PC) is connected to the HotWire apparatus and runs the HotWire software. The wearable application (Secondary Task) that should be evaluated within the user study is running on a separate wearable computer and features a network connection to the server. To communicate with the server the wearable application uses special handlers, provided by the HotWire software, to publish and listen for events.
