|
<P>I am not a guru in wearable computing, simply after some years
|
|
using HP95LX and HP200LX palmtop computers more like wearables than like a PDA ( thanks to DOS
|
|
5, the HP200LX even allowed me to do a semester CS project using turbo pascal
|
|
while commuting in
|
|
the subway ), and living with a palm IIIx and a laptop running Linux,
|
|
to me the next step is having a wearable running Linux, thus I have
|
|
spent more than a year reading various informations on wearable and
|
|
taking a little part in the wear-hard mailing list. As more an more
|
|
people will be interested in the wearable concept I have decided to
|
|
start this HOWTO in order to help them ( At the time of this writing
|
|
I am building my own
|
|
wearable using my laptop ( Toshiba 430CDT ) with a twiddler keyboard, emacspeak,
|
|
and camcorders batteries. )
|
|
<P>Some people may, at least, be surprised to find the "In the army now"
|
|
section so I would like to explain my position: I am trying to write this
|
|
HOWTO both as a journalist and a scientist would do: this implies as a
|
|
journalist to
|
|
look for information from every source available, and as a scientist
|
|
to be neutral: and as the US Army is willing to purchase more than
|
|
30.000 units one can hardly overlook this user group.
|
|
This document is intended to be the
|
|
starting point of a long term work. If you have any information ( that
|
|
can be checked ) that you think is of interest, do not hesitate
|
|
contact me.
