Living in Silicon When I put together my first machine, it was while I was working at BBN (now GTE). Same sort of thing. However, most people don't realize you have/are using the Twiddler (its at your side and they maintain eye contact), and most folks get used to the HUD in about 2 weeks. Just mount the display in a pair of clear safety glasses and you can hook the earpiece in your shirt (or shoulder strap on your bag) when not using them. Don't use sunglasses because people will complain about not being able to see your eyes when you talk to them. The biggest issue is conveying WHY you're using it in a conversation. Once your colleagues realize what you're doing (taking personal notes so you don't forget what they told you), they may think you're weird, but won't object. In my experience, its just when they think you're recording them in some way, or not paying attention, that they object to the principle. Other than that, they'll just make off-hand comments about it looking "ugly." :-) Thad Starner Georgia Tech/MIT Media Laboratory Wearable Computing Project -- Subcription/unsubscription/info requests: send e-mail with subject of "subscribe", "unsubscribe", or "info" toWear-Hard Mailing List Archive (searchable): http://wearables.ml.org
