Definition
One of the simpler definitions of “Wearable Computing” is:
“Wearable computing facilitates a new form of human--computer interaction comprising a small body--worn computer (e.g. user--programmable device) that is always on and always ready and accessible. In this regard, the new computational framework differs from that of hand held devices, laptop computers and personal digital assistants (PDAs). The ``always ready'' capability leads to a new form of synergy between human and computer, characterized by long-term adaptation through constancy of user--interface.”

Land warrior Projects fate
The project was in a prototype combat testing stage in 2009, with funding cut to only cover maintenance. If it proved to be useful to infantry combat it was likely to return to full funding
Unfortunately it didn’t Catch on.

GD300 Rugged Wearable Computer System
“The GD300 includes a sunlight readable display and functional control buttons typically found on any Android-based device. The 3.5-inch touch-screen display lets war fighters move information around, zoom in or out or place digital “markers” on tactical maps with the touch of a gloved finger. Comfortably fitting in an adult’s hand, the computer fully meets MIL-STD 810G specifications for ruggedness.”
