This document discusses digital jewelry, which combines fashion jewelry with embedded computing technology. Digital jewelry devices could include earrings with speakers, a necklace with a microphone, a ring with LEDs to indicate calls, and a bracelet with a small display. The technology allows for a wireless wearable computer using Bluetooth. Issues include small displays, potential health risks from radiation, water damage risks, and high costs, but digital jewelry may eventually replace standalone computers by integrating all necessary functions into fashionable items that are easy to carry everywhere.

3. In Computer Fashion Wave, "Digital Jewellery" looks to be
the next sizzling fashion trend of the technological wave.
The combination of shrinking computer devices and
increasing computer power has allowed several companies
to begin producing fashion jewellery with embedded
intelligence.
By the end of the decade, we could be wearing our
computers instead of sitting in front of them.
4. Evolution in digital technology.
Root of mobile computing.
Fashion Jewelry with embedded intelligence.
Wireless wearable computers.
Nascent catchphrase for wearable ID devices.
Have the potential of all in one replacement.
Beginning of disintegration of PC to tiny
devices.
5. IBM developed a prototype of cell phone.
Like- Earrings
Necklace
Ring
Bracelet
Consists of several pieces of digital jewelry.
Works using Bluetooth wireless technology.
IBM is also working rechargeable battery to
power these components
6. Ear Ring - Speaker’s embedded
into these earrings will be the
phone's receiver.
Necklace - Users will talk into
the necklace's embedded
microphone . It is mainly by blue
tooth technology
7. Ring - Perhaps the most interesting
piece of the phone , this “Magic
Decoder Ring” is equipped with
LEDs that flash to indicate an
incoming call.
Bracelet-Equipped with a video
graphics array (VGA) display, this
wrist display could also be used as
a caller identifier that flashes the
name and phone number of the caller
8. Digital jewellery
devices consist of a
screen or display for
information, most likely
consisting of 7-16-
segment, or dot matrix
LEDs, LCDs.
An audio visual or
other 'display' could
consist of a speaker, a
single flashing light, a
sensor of some kind
9. Java based computerized ring.
Stainless steel finger ring.
Contains iButton.
Has 134kb RAM,32kb ROM,
real time clock , JVM
Snapped into a reader called “Blue dot
receptor” , to allow communication
between a host system and the Java Ring.
10. Runs Java better (plus portions enhance Java
Card 2.0)
Careful attention to physical security
Durability to stand up to everyday use
High memory capacity
Retail connectivity to 250 million existing
computers
11. Wireless wearable technology.
Easy to carry every where.
Sizzling outlook to the user.
Natural interaction between the user.
Disadvantages-
Display is very small.
Rays may be harmful.
No waterproof care should be taken.
Very expensive to afford.
12. The basic idea is to have the convenience of
wireless wearable computers while marketing
fashionably sound.
It is hoped to be marketable soon. Several
bugs remain.
Charging capabilities and cost are sample of
the problems that lurk.
