I love the idea behind wearable computers, but how long will it be until they are the same price as industrial walkie-talkies? I mean, police officers have radio dispatch agents that do their "computation" now. Isn't their use of a two-way radio the ultimate wearable computer to date? Cheap, highly effective, informative, and disposable. For me, I don't think I could afford a permanent radio dispatch agent of my own. I would instead need a TTS/ASR program to replace them.. perhaps VoiceXML based. Then, the interface only need be a modern two-way radio.. does anyone know of a Nextel (or similar in power) radio cell-phone with GPS? Thus, the interface, being a thin-client without bells-whistles, could send/recv information directly to my home computer to do the real-work.. I guess the main problem is the natural language understand and processing technology to date. Perhaps the release of OpenCYC next month will help. --Boundary_(ID_AYXC1j8b3vqz5r8ODiRwog) Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" http-equiv=Content-Type> <META content="MSHTML 5.00.3315.2870" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#fff8e0> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Does anyone know if police officers or bounty hunters are using wearable computers for surveillance yet? </FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I love the idea behind wearable computers, but how long will it be until they are the same price as industrial walkie-talkies?
