Wearable computers

Abstract

As computers move from the desktop, to the palm top, and onto our bodies

and into our everyday lives, infinite opportunities arise to realize

applications that have never before been possible. To date, personal

computers have not lived up to their name. Most machines sit on a desk and

interact with their owners only a small fraction of the day. A person's

computer should be worn, much as eyeglasses or clothing are worn, and

interact with the user based on the context of the situation. With the current

accessibility of wireless local area networks, and the host of other context

sensing and communication tools available, coupled with the current scale of

miniaturization, it is becoming clear that the computer should act as an

intelligent assistant, whether it be through a remembrance agent, augmented

reality, or intellectual collectives.

It is also important that a computer be small, such as something we could

slip into our pocket, or even better wear like a piece of clothing. It is rapidly

becoming apparent that the next technological leap is to integrate the

computer and the user in a non-invasive manner, this leap will bring us into

the fascinating world of Wearable Computers.
