Preface
One might argue that technology usage and adoption are among the most over-studied topics in the IS literature. Indeed, I agree that there is no need for yet another paper that focuses solely on the influence of usefulness and enjoyment on technologies. However, I believe that the usage and adoption of specific technologies might be driven by specific factors. In line with this, this book collects six studies that research specific kinds of wearable devices, such as smartwatches and smartglasses, and analyzes the factors that could be driving their usage. As a result, this book provides researchers with important insights into the specifics of technology usage and also holds specific implications for practitioners such as manufacturers of wearable devices. I would like to thank the authors of each chapter: Daniel Weiz, Gagat Anand, Bastian Stock, Tiago Patrick dos Santos Ferreira, Florian Rheingans, Burhan Cikit, Frederik Mayer, Duc Nguyen, Alexander Ernst, Patrick Reinelt, and Shewit Hadish. Finally, my special thanks go to my friend and mentor Franz Rothlauf, who helps, supports, and continues to teach me so much: without him, I never would have done an
