From Wear-Hard Mailing list Archive (WH) Maintained by R. Paul McCarty

Folks

The annual wearable computing conference is about to happen again!  The advance program is below.  

Of special note is the tour of Entertainment Technology Center at CMU.  Randy Pausch, of "The Last Lecture" fame (http://download.srv.cs.cmu.edu/~pausch/), co-founded ETC, and it is a unique place to tour.

Please register now so that the CMU hosts can plan appropriately!  And please forward to internal mailing lists (it is hard to get through spam filters these days)!
