Description
Although smart glasses allow hands-free interaction with information systems and can enhance business processes, they face problems with the adoption in businesses. Implementation challenges arise due to specific hardware conditions e.g. computational power, limited battery, small screen size and privacy issues caused by the camera. In addition, not many programmers are specialized for the development of smart glasses-based applications to conquer the mentioned challenges. We address this issue with a generation tool for smart glasses-based information systems. A BPMN extension for smart glasses applications allows the abstract specification. Specified processes are then integrated into a model-driven software development approach that transforms processes directly into smart glasses applications. This paper covers the design and development phase of the abstract and concrete syntax of the BPMN extension and the representation of the architecture to generate smart glasses-based information systems with the new developed BPMN extension.
