Wearable HUD for ecological field research applications.

Abstract
Wearable devices have emerged in the last years with new applications that provide user convenience. Healthcare, sports, safety are some examples of areas in which wearable devices have been used. This paper overviews wearable architectures found in the literature and presents a novel wearable for monitoring ecological environments. The wearable includes a Head-UP Display (HUD) assembled with Google Cardboard API and sensors connected to a development board. Our wearable device provides several functionalities such as distance measurement to objects and weather conditions monitoring. Camera and green lasers combined with a digital image processing algorithm are used to measure the distance to objects. We different development boards to build the system.
