Wearable ComputersWearable ComputersDescription: Wearable computers deal in information rather than programs, becoming tools in the user's environment much like a pencil or a reference book. The wearable computer provides automatic, portable access to information. Furthermore, the information can be automatically accumulated by the system as the user interacts with or modifies the environment thereby eliminating the costly and error-prone process of information acquisition. Much like personal computers allow accountants and bookkeepers to merge their information space with their workspace (i.e., a sheet of paper) wearable computers allow mobile processing and the integration of information with the user's work, much like power tools that are used in construction work.
