Some day, maybe we will have computing devices so small and unobtrusive that we will wear them on our bodies with no more discomfort or inconvenience than a pair of glasses.
Andy's Wearable Computing Resource (http://www.redwoodhouse.com/wearable/) seeks to stimulate and inform on this topic. Andy shows quite a range of devices like wrist PDAs, a clip on voice recognition device, and, most interesting to me, different head-mounted displays. The site is attractive, well organized and easy to navigate.

Another site, Wearables Central (http://wearables.blu.org/), is older, but is interesting in a historical sense. This site will lead you to a "wearables showcase".

There is some info on an MIT site (http://www.media.mit.edu/wearables/), but it looks like they are not updating it. They also have a History of Wearables (http://www.media.mit.edu/wearables/lizzy/timeline.html) page.

What do you think? Would you buy a wearable? How much would you be willing to pay? What would you use it for?
