Web sightings

The MIT Wearable Computing Web Page provides a look at Media Lab research into computers that are worn, "much as eyeglasses or clothing are worn, and interact with the user based on the context of the situation." There are links to information on the hardware and software involved, various applications for the technology (including "remembrance agents" and devices for the handicapped), research papers and projects, and related commercial and academic sites.
