Sayonara Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 Field trials for a wearable, 'intelligent' computer are being undertaken in Spain. The system is designed to help astrobiologists select areas of special geological interest on future Mars missions. It includes a 667 MHz belt computer running Microsoft Windows, an eye display, finger mouse, camera and wearable keyboard. It can easily be adapted for use by robots. The software is designed to spot areas of "uncommonality" in image maps, and can be easily configured to pick out areas of interest or look for specific features.

LuTze Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 Hopfully, it's a full keyboard with 'ctrl', 'alt' and 'del' keys on it somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap'n Refsmmat Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 I think I saw that in the Guiness book of world records somewhere. Supposedly it can be used for industrial workers reading their manuals as they work. It gives the feeling of an 11 inch screen, the book said.
