5. Evolution- Refined over the decades
After its invention, Wearable Computers have gone through 18 generations of
development, with research going on at prestigious institutions like MIT,
Georgia Tech and Carnegie Mellon University. Let's have a look on some of
the inventions:
● Head-mounted displays and wrist-mounted user-interfaces like watches
● Now going mainstream - no longer reserved for uber-geeks, especially with
Google Glass and Smartwatches
● Not just for mobile computing - other purposes too, like accessibility,
learning, research and navigation
