It's Not Virtual Reality. It's Enhanced Reality.
Conference on Portable, Hands-Free, Wearable Computers Being Held in Fairfax, Va.
FAIRFAX, Va., May 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Your Pentium(R) 133PC weighs just two pounds and rests comfortably on your belt. It's powered by a small battery, also on your belt. From a small microphone you instruct the computer to bring up the repair protocol for the engine you're working on. In seconds, it appears on the tiny screen, focused just in front of your eye. A science fiction movie? What you'd expect in the year 201O? This is now. This is reality.
''We've created a wearable computer with dozens of practical applications,'' said Edward G. Newman, president and CEO of Xybernaut(R), (Nasdaq: XYBR - news) a computer technology company headquartered in Fairfax, Virginia. Xybernaut is hosting the International Conference on Wearable Computing on May 12th and 13th at the Hyatt Fair Lakes Hotel.
Industry representatives from around the world, as well as the academic community, users and vendors will attend the conference. The two-day meeting will include demonstrations of the latest technology from dozens of companies and be a forum for discussing user experiences and expectations, vendor product plans, and emerging standards in the wearable computers industry.
''Although this technology is primarily being used in industry right now, our products and prices will be competing with laptop consumer computers next year,'' Newman said. ''The next generation Mobile Assistant(R), that those attending the Conference will experience first hand, is based on Intel's Pentium(R) 266 MHz MMX mobile processor and has both docking and communication capabilities, so you can use it on your desk top and then take it into the field.''
