You must have read the future Lizzy page, to be written when we all have inkjet-circuitry-on-fabric-nanoprinters in our homes. The past and present Lizzy was built by and for wearable users with modest hardware skills, and as such comprises little more than a stack of PC/104 cards (main CPU, video, and other interface cards). It represents one way of building a wearable PC from off-the-shelf components (PC/104 boards) for about the cost of an up-to-date desktop machine. The most complex operations involved are soldering new connectors onto wire harnesses and mounting the boards in an aluminum case. The biggest problem still facing us all is the lack of a good, in-production head-mounted display suitable for constant use. -Rehmi Post -- Subcription/unsubscription/info requests: send e-mail with subject of "subscribe", "unsubscribe", or "info" toWear-Hard Mailing List Archive (searchable): http://wearables.blu.org
