Wearable Technology Fashion Show

Posted by michael on from the beauty-is-in-the-eye-of-the-camera-holder dept.

jlouderb writes "I know, it's been done before. But at the recent CTIA show I stumbled onto a wearable computing fashion show. It was weird. I had my camera and filched a copy of the show script. Combined together, you get a bizarre pastiche of scrawny models attempting to make phones, notebooks, video cameras and more into fashion statements. Just too surreal for words."

    I'll have you know I've been wearing a VAX since the mid 70s.

    Mobile power computing AND a good daily workout.

    This is a great excuse to post a nice slideshow of some hot babes. Great job.

    It provides a great break to the workday, right around lunchtime.

    Oh, and the new technology is nice too.

    Well, Bill, I don't think they will sell any of this stuff by strapping it to 250 pound pasty white geek guys with a bottle of Dew in one hand.

    I don't know if it's just me, but doesn't the first model in the set of pictures (Nomad Augmented Vision System) look like some random Borg like creature with her headset and red-eye?

    Usually women's fashions require accessories. These require attachements and upgrades. Finally, something to bring geeks and models together!

    ...darling, would you mind debugging my bra?
