Motivation
• Individual Soldiers Have Limited: Information Resources (maps, compass, GPS) Connectivity (voice radio)
• Individual Soldiers Need Better: Perception Memory Decision Making Tools Connectivity

History: DARPA “Wearables in 2005” Conference
• Held in 1996
• Representatives from Industry and Military
• Tried to Predict what was Possible
• How Did They Do? OK on hardware performance
Not very well on anything else

What is a Wearable Computer?
• Ten Years Ago: A processing unit, input device, and output device that
can be worn like clothing
• Today: The answer is less clear
