Wearing a Computer at Work

Posted by Zonk on from the practically-do-anyway dept.

Roland Piquepaille writes "The European Union has funded an ambitious project related to wearable technology. The project, named WearIT@work, will end in one year and invested funds are expected to exceed 23 million euros. The goal is to replace traditional interfaces, such as screen, keyboard or computer unit, by speech control or gesture control without modifying the applications. This wearable system is currently being tested in four different fields including aircraft maintenance, emergency response, car production and healthcare."

    Try to go to an airport in the US wearing this stuff and you will probably be arrested/tasered for being a "terrorist".
