4. Definition
 A wearable computer(Augmented Reality) is a
computing device small and light enough to be worn
on one's body without causing discomfort.
Unlike a laptop or a palmtop , wearable computer is
constantly turned on and interacts with the a real-
world task.
 Information could be even very context sensitive.

5. Characteristics
 Wearable computers should be worn like
glasses, watches, and clothing.
 The interaction between the person and
computer should be context-based.
 The display and input should be
unobtrusive.
 Wireless Personal Area Networks.
 Wearable computers should act as an
intelligent assistant.

Manufacturing/Maintenance

Textiles

Jewelry/Watch
 Nano-technology will accelerate the adaptation rate
of wearable computers due to the reduced size of
mobile computers and incorporation in nano-tubes
into textiles
