Wearable Computer
Introduction
 A wearable computer is a computing device small
and light enough to be worn on one's body without
causing discomfort.
 It may also be integrated into everyday objects that
are constantly worn on the body.

 It should be worn like glasses, watches, and
clothing.
 It should act as an Intelligent Assistant.
 Invented by Steve Mann in the 1970s.
Characteristics
 Wearable computer is defined by SIX main

characteristics.
I.
Un monopolizing.
II.

Unrestrictive.

III.

Observable.

IV.

Controllable.

V.

Attentive.

VI.

Communicative .
How It Works
 Communication between user and device
 With use of sensory device
 Perform multitasking
 Allow the user to change information
Military Field.
Medical Field.
Face recognition.
Finger tracking.
Communication
Entertainment
Games.
Advantages

 Sixth Sense
Mobility
Connectivity
Flexibility

(Pranav Mistry)

Disadvantages
Expensive
Can cause irritation in heat
Side-effect such as headaches
Conclusion
Whatever area wearable computer technology
is applied to you can see that it will improve the
quality of life and make day-to-day life less
complicated.
There are even some reports that wearable will
be the fashion of tomorrow.
