I think an even bigger problem would be deciding how you wanted to use it. I mean with those dimension you could easily attach it to the back of your arm or something similiar, but anything near the head would be hard. As for the display interface, you use it as an auxillery display with minimal additional components from a serial port. If you had an LCD touch screen you could even make selections. Maybe this would be good for a wearable mp3 player that has a list of songs. This would be secondary to the main display and thus wouldn't interfere with other things on a fast enougth machine. A nice addon for those on the run with a wearable who likes to listen to music........ Rob Wohleb Brandon Macmillan wrote: > Hi, I'm verry new to wearable computers. I don't even have one.
