Wearable UI, was Paradigms...

Thanks for bringing this thread back to wearables.

As you suggest, I to would much rather talk about UI than OS.  So,
here are my thoughts on UI:

Something that will run on many OS's and architectures available to
the experimenter and is distributed as open source.

Something that doesn't care if you are using speech, a windowing
system, braille, mouse, puffer switch, a 40x6 text only display or all
of them at once...

Something robust enough to let you do system tasks, email, listen to
mpegs, control external devices, all with a consistant user interface
that users controls and can customize all they like...

Perhaps something that already has a large, non-wearing user base to
help maintain and expand it...

Something extensible, customizable, self-documenting...

Now that I think about it, it sounds kind of familiar...

Wait a second, let me check the Emacs documentation and see what I can find...
