The document discusses the history and current state of wearable computing. It describes how early wearable computers were invented in 1961 for roulette prediction. Examples of current uses mentioned include the Land Warrior project, SixthSense project, and wearables for health/fitness, personal use, industry, and military applications. The advantages of wearables include mobility, multitasking, and hands-free use, while disadvantages include potential heavy equipment, high costs, and side effects. Wearable computing is still emerging but shows potential for future growth.

Editor's Notes
- #2: Hello and welcome to our presentation on wearable computing. Today wewill be giving at a quick overview of how the area of wearable computing seems to have developed and where we personally believe that the area of wearable computing is heading due to our research.
- #4: This is the simplest definition of wearable computing that I could find that successfully works to distinguish between the mobile computing of the everyday mobile phone of today.“Wearable computing facilitates a new form of human--computer interaction comprising a small body--worn computer that is always on and always ready and accessible. In this regard, the new computational framework differs from that of hand held devices, laptop computers and PDAs. The ``always ready'' capability leads to a new form of synergy between human and computer, characterized by long-term adaptation through constancy of user--interface.”
- #5: Now time for a quick history lessonIn 1961 Ed Thorp and Claude Shannon invented the first wearable computer which was a cigarette-pack sized computer with 4 push buttons. A data-taker that would use the buttons to indicate the speed of the roulette wheel, and the computer would then send tones via radio to a hearing aid to predict a roulette wheels.
- #7: There were many issues with the land warrior system. According to some, parts of the land warrior gear was out-dated and buggy when it first got released and with many unnecessary features. Another complaint about the land warrior gear was the 17 pounds of weight which is added on to the previous 80 pounds which was greatly restricting the infantry’s movement. It was proven to be a waste with half a billion dollars spent on the project since its start in 1996.
- #8: Currently the area of wearable computing seems to be dying out fast but some people are still working towards developing wearable computing systems for an example the open source SixthSence along and a wide variety of do it yourself wearable computer system examples that can be found right across the Internet.
- #14: In conclusion we find that currently Wearable computing is taking a back seat with Smartphone mobile technology taking the lead, but at some point Smartphone’s will hit a wall with minimization and real world integration through virtual reality at which point we see wearable computing taking a lead. There are a few innovative projects in development that are working towards the future with nearly unnoticeable virtual enhancements of the world around us. Wearable computing however currently has a leading role in military technology as the extra mobility and easy access it greatly appreciated. Along with these highly useful applications of wearable computing there are the sometimes silly examples throughout the do it yourself computing community.
