Wearable computer

anujaapte

Madhu here for this week’s blog post!


With so much going on related to the “Hats Off” Wearable Design challenge on element14, I thought the following post that I found on Youtube would be appropriate to discuss.


 

The practical uses for a tool like this given the fact that most phones today are advanced is questionable, nonetheless the technology by itself is pretty cool. Specifically, the fact that all the parts would have cost only about few hundred dollars is very encouraging.


This mini-computer that you can wear as a glass and use with a handheld keyboard, uses video glasses to take the display out of Raspberry Pi.  I would only assume that it is inconvenient to walk around with these but with a camera board to look ahead, this issue could be easily overcome.


Feel free to share your thoughts on the type of uses this wearable computer can have?

  • I think the idea is fun but as you can see in his video it's basically just a RPi with a TV a battery and a wireless keyboard.

     

    The resolution will not be very high here due to the quality of the LCD and the composite input.

    It also obscures your view and can not be worn by Glasses warers

     

    It needs a better integrated GUI so you do not need to use the wireless keyboard device because you can't see it with the glasses on

    This is a good starting point I'm not going to just put it down it's just not new or that well thought out. It is however a beginning I want to see what he does next.
