Wearable Computing at Boston International Symposium

An International Symposium on Wearable Computers, in Boston, was held yesterday, Oct. 12th.

Products ready for mainstream commercial production -

The Swiss Federal Institute of Techonology - "stretchable, threadlike sensors that can be woven into shirts to detect their wearers' posture." Help for those with back pain.

Germany's University of Bremen - "shoe-borne sensor whose tiny accelerometers perform electronic dead reckoning — providing real-time location tracking in places satellite navigation systems either can't reach or can't describe with precision."

For helping firefighters and emergency responders.

MIT - "black plastic badges around their necks that analyze multiple factors —keyboard.wearable.jpg including motion and speech patterns." Are you really listening to me?

Colorado School of Mines - "embedded sensors into gloves so that snowboarders or motorists could control portable music devices with the faintest squeeze of their fingers." Wear your remote, not carry it.

Kobe University - wearable piano keyboard that allows Japanese to type characters faster than using a QWERTY keyboard. 

What would you like computers to do for you?
