Wearable computers, also known as body-borne computers are miniature electronic devices that are worn by the bearer under, with or on top of clothing.

The project was in a prototype combat testing stage in 2009,

with funding cut to only cover maintenance. If it proved to be

useful to infantry combat it was likely to return to full

Currently the area of wearable computing seems to be dying out fast but some people

are still working towards developing wearable computing systems for an

example the open source SixthSence along and a wide variety of do it yourself

wearable computer system examples that can be found right across the Internet.

The most interesting piece of wearable computing that

we was able to find currently in development is SixthSense. SixthSense is a gestural interface system

that is currently in development and the open source software should be available with a month but still has a long way to go
