I don't know about blowing them away in a technical sense, but how about 
doing things like a couple (indoor/outdoor navigation and user 
collaboration are on my list, but not quite like those shown and I have 
an idea for a much simpler implimentation of gesture recognition) of the 
examples.  My ideas are directed more toward low-cost units which would 
be more simple to learn and hense, more appealing to the masses.

What I'm looking for is a company with the resources to look into the 
patent implications (and licensing of any ideas already patented...) and 
development, marketting, and distribution.

I really didn't give them any.  Just said I have some ideas that I'm 
convinced would make their product more markettable and offered to sign 
them away...

You see, I *like* Xybernaut.  But I don't like the direction they're 
taking by moving away from wearables.  Anf the Xybernaut Corp. has the 
resources to impliment my ideas...

Hell, if anyone here wants to get together to develope open specs like 
the ones at a wikki I seem to recall, but can't seem to find in my 
bookmarks.  I'm sure someone here has it handy.  I can look it up if 
not.  If we can come up with specs that allow for commercial operations 
to customize, differentiate, and for hobbiests to experiment, I think 
we'd be golden... but for now I'm more interested in whether there might 
be a company out there interested in a wearable for the masses.
