 Main Features Of Wearable
computers:

 1. CONSISTANCY: Constant Interaction

between the computer and the user.

 2.MULTITASKING: Ability to Multi-task.

 HISTORY
Wearable computers in
Early days:
 1268: Earliest recorded mention of Eye-
Glasses

 1960:Head-Mounted Stereophonic
Television Display.

 1966: Claude Shannon reveals his

invention of First WEARABLE
COMPUTER.

 1967: Hubert Upton Invents ANALOGUE

Wearable Computer.
 1978: Eudaemonist Enterprises invents
digital Wearable Computer in Shoe.

 1981: Steve Mann design Backpack

Mounted Computer.

 2001: IBM develops two prototypes for

Wrist Watch Computer Runner.

 OPERATIONAL MODES

Three basic operational modes:

 1.CONSTANCY
F

 2.AUGMENTATION:
  3.MEDIATION:

 Further it has two aspects:

F
F  1.Solitude

 1.Privacy
 ATTRIBUTES (SIGNAL PATHS)
There are six informational flow paths associated with
this new human--machine synergy :
1. UNMONOPOLIZING:
 Wearable computer is unmonopolizing of the
user's attention:

 It does not cut you off from the outside world like
a virtual reality game or the like. You can attend
to other matters while using the apparatus .
 2.UNRESTRICTIVE

 Wearable computer are Unrestrictive to

the user ambulatory.

 Mobile, Roving, ``you can do other

things while using it'',
e.g. you can type while jogging, etc.
 3.OBSERVABLE
 It is Observable by the user: It can get
your attention continuously if you want it
to.

 Almost--always--observable: within
reasonable limitations
 4.CONTROLLABLE
 It is Controllable by the user.

 Responsive: You can grab control of it at

any time you wish .
 5.ATTENTIVE
 Attentive to the environment.

 Environmentally aware.

 Multimodal.

 Multisensory .
 6.COMMUNICATIVE
 Wearable computers are Communicative
to others: Can be used as a
communications medium when you want it
to.

 Expressive: allows the wearer to be

expressive through the medium .
