hello, i am a college student with a very specific problem. i am in the process of creating a plan of study for my next semester, and am researching the plausibility of a study on the effects of wearable computing on a persons life, relationships, and psyche. in this study i would build a wearable computer, and with it stay connected to the internet, and my college at all waking hours (the college i attend is online). the difficulty which i have come up against is that due to my limited income as a student i cannot afford to connect using cellular service for that many hours per day (16). therefor i have come to the conclusion that the only other form of connection would be to use radio signals sent in between a base and the wearable, with the base being connected to a phone line. this is possible using four radios, 1 transmitter at each end and 1 receiver at each end, but due to the amount that they would weigh, and their power consumption, it is not a plausible solution. So, my question to you would be whether anyone else has used a similar method of connecting wearables, or if anyone knows of a technology that allows synchronous reception and transmission of data over the air. many thanks for your patience and help. -----== Posted via Deja News, The Leader in Internet Discussion ==----- http://www.dejanews.com/rg_mkgrp.xp Create Your Own Free Member Forum
