Wearable Computing...
AR Vision: WearCam + WearComp + WearDisp
Crazy idea... 35 years ago...
Now a $241 billion industry!...
WearCam™ Vision-based AR
Augmediated Reality comprises 3 elements:
• Wearable Camera ("WearCam"), connected to a
• Wearable Computer ("WearComp"), connected to a
• Wearable Display ("WearDisp").
Nicholas Negroponte, Director of MIT Media Lab:
Early 1990s TV broadcast;
Founding of MIT Wearable Computing Project
Wearable Computing with Wearable Cameras
Crazy idea... 35 years ago;
"Steve Mann is the perfect example of someone deemed to be on the lunatic fringe, but who persisted in his vision and ended up founding a new discipline."
--Nicholas Negroponte, Bangor Daily News - Sep 26, 1997.
