Pricing on embedded boards has dropped dramatically since I built my first wearable. There are a ton of tiny and cheap sensors available now, and I can get Atel microcontrollers for $7. Free software is making it possible to put something together for much less than the past. I'm thinking convergence here, ie my ideas consolidate functions, and I'm thinking open platforms. That's all I will say for now ... other than I think it's time that some hacker(s) go to work and put tech in the hands of people who really need it. It will take me years to put any of these ideas into action, but I have a vision, and I am basically doing a bunch of research, and I am now already working on some prototypes to see what can be done with COTS parts and free software. -- Doug -- Subscription/unsubscription/info requests: send e-mail with subject of "subscribe", "unsubscribe", or "info" toWear-Hard Mailing List Archive (searchable): http://wearables.blu.org Please, *PLEASE* don't subscribe through a forward/expander/false domain
