Currently the area of wearable computing seems to be dying out fast but some people
are still working towards developing wearable computing systems for an
example the open source SixthSence along and a wide variety of do it yourself
wearable computer system examples that can be found right across the Internet.
The most interesting piece of wearable computing that
we was able to find currently in development is SixthSense. SixthSense is a gestural interface system
that is currently in development and the open source software should be available with a month but still has a long way to go
