Next Generation Xybernaut Wearable

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the fashion-trends-I-can-get-behind dept.

shanenewsom sent in linkage to a story running on the BBC which talks about the new Xybernaut Poma. A little light on the specs, although the headmounted screen is 640x480 and it runs WinCE. But it really does look like the first practical wearable. It should be available in March. Update: 01/21 18:52 GMT by T : Reader Eureses points out that the display is actually 800x600 rather than 640x480.

    I never got around to playing Tribes 2 -- VDN in Tribes 1 was "We need more defense."

    There were a couple of great songs made from those sounds. Here's a link to them on my server:
