Philips Semiconductor has announced a single-package solution that integrates both WiFi and Bluetooth into the same small unit, allowing both wireless protocols to be added more easily and cheaply to small devices. The new system even uses a proprietary four-wire interface to run interference, or really, run out interference between the two radios that operate on similar frequencies.

Wearable Robots

Wearable Robots 06/14/2004 06:03 PM

Remember the scene in the first Alien movie where Ripley fights the Queen baddie using a semi-robotic lifting machine? Well, it looks like that technology is getting closer to real-world applications. Inventor Steven Jacobsen is s howing off a prototype of his device, and is working with robotics gurus Sarcos to make it a production reality.

Strap it on, go for a walk on the treadmill or up and down stairs while carrying a 90-kilogram load on your back, and it feels as if you’re carrying nothing, says Jacobsen. You can even balance on one foot with a person on your back and barely feel any more fatigued than if you were standing by yourself, he adds. The exoskeleton adds strength because it stays in parallel with the user’s legs and pushes on the ground.

Military uses seem to be first in line for this device, but I can think of lots of other uses for it in industry, construction, even in nursing homes — anywhere lifting and lifting-related injuries are involved. I don't think they'll have one ready for my backyard landscaping project though.

Robots With Wearable Computers?

Robots With Wearable Computers? 02/10/2004 05:32 PM
Roland Piquepaille writes "BBC News Online reports that "scientis ts are developing a wearable, 'intelligent' computer system to help humans or robots explore Mars on future missions to the Red Planet." "The 'cyborg astrobiologist' consists of a person equipped with a compact computer, camera, finger mouse, head-mounted display and keyboard." Patrick McGuire, who designed the system, said that a user, human or robot, can influence the system by giving it values biasing towards 'polysaturated pixels.' My blog also includes a photo of McGuire playing with one of his robotics devices." While the article says that the system is designed to be used by a human, they also admit that it could be "worn" by a robot. Am I the only one who finds it somewhat amusing to think of a robot sporting a wearable computer? They're robots... you can build this stuff in...

One Step Closer To Wearable Displays

One Step Closer To Wearable Displays 05/07/2004 05:44 PM
People have been talking about display technology embedded in a pair of glasses for years, and it's looking like they may not be that far away. Microdisplay companies are doing good business building mini-screens for digital cameras and mobile phones, but the idea of wearable heads-up displays is where they expect the big money to come from. They're already being used in military and medical environments, but they're moving one step down the latter to industrial uses as well. From there, it's not that much farther to go for more general purposes. Right now, most of the heads-up displays are still bulky and ugly (though, not nearly as bulky as they were a few years ago), but the companies clearly realize where this is headed, and are working hard to make glasses with embedded displays that are both functional and "cool" looking. Combined with a phone or a personal mobile gateway device, and you could have full internet access all the time. As someone in the article points out, at that point, what we use internet access for may change in completely unexpected ways.

I, T-shirt: wearable movie trailers at
NextFest 05/17/2004 10:31 PM
In The Hollywood Reporter today, an item about t-shirts that display movie trailers -- as seen at both E3 and NextFest last week.

Coming soon to a T-shirt near you: trailers for "I, Robot," starring Will Smith. In the never-ending search to capture the attention of consumers bombarded by commercials, billboards and a massive array of other advertisements, 20th Century Fox debuted an innovative new guerilla marketing tactic at E3 last week -- T-shirts embedded with video screens that played "I, Robot" trailers.

The two women who wore the video T-shirts as they walked around E3 drew crowds and TV news crews on hand to cover the gaming conference at the Los Angeles Convention Center. 20th Century Fox is the first studio -- or business of any kind -- to use the video T-shirt marketing tactic developed by San Francisco-based Brand Marketers.

Scalar Corp 7-Gram Wearable Screen

Scalar Corp 7-Gram Wearable Screen 04/05/2005 09:18 AM

I4U has a few details on an impressively lightweight LCD screen from Scalar Corp. that can be mounted on ordinary glasses that weighes a scant seven grams. The screen offers a simulated 14-inch screen with 180,000 pixels (roughly television resolution). It's not terribly expensive, either, at just $460 or so.

I don't have a subscription to Nikkei.net, though, so I have no idea what sort of interface it uses. Much smaller than this, though, and it'll be directly integrated into glasses themselves and we might actually start wearing stuff like this.

Update: BoingBoing reader Gary writes, "If you want to hear the results yourself (nothing too impressive ... yet), you can go here and download the concert (during the performance of "Love You"). You might also be pleasantly suprised that Phish is happy to transmit full soundboard quality with no DRM."
