Wearable computers are alive and well.

I think it's just not as amazing as it once was, because miniturization of PC parts has gone so far from the 1990's when those projects first started.

A lot of the research done at MIT with fabric-based computing has resulted in actual commercial products.

@nube: You need a flashlight too, to read the disc. Trust me, it works.

@awemaker:

what the hell happened to wearable computers?

I think the display technology never really got good enough or "normal" looking enough. Even with today's display goggles, would still look like stepped off the set of Star Treck. In addition, a good input device still doesn't really fit...
Perhaps an iPhone like touch screen strapped to your arm might work though..

IF it runs linux, it will run wineX, if it runs wineX you can play older PC games easily, newer ones...MAAAYYYYBE....maybe as in games from 2000 and below...this thing probably has a very very low graphics processor in it.

HEY! Can somebody please tell me what the hell happened to wearable computers? It seems to me that by the time we could get something as small and good as the computers featured here, we should have a nice affordable wearable, don't you think?

Come on, folks, I WANNA BE ASSIMILATED! Let's get this going!
