Wearable Computing - WIDE range of potential apps (Score 1)

While I don't think wearable computing is yet ready for the mass market, I do believe that there should be tremendious interest in specialized markets such as military, law enforcement, rescue/fire teams, construction, transportation, etc... When you combine this technology with other technology such as GPS, mass databases, or Millivisions technology, (Active (radar) millimeter wave imaging systems which are able to "see through" most wall materials)(Millimeter wave radar imaging systems can be made extremely sensitive to movement, even to the level of detecting heartbeats.), the potential wearable computing applications/devices are staggering. If you think about combining these two technologies, the possiblities and applications should be of high interest to military, and law enforcement. Military recon patrols would have the ability to recon and determine exact locations and enemy equipment. Swat teams, would have the same ability. In a different area, research and exploration, I would think that if you could uplink these wearable computers with massive specialized databases, that exploration in the jungle or other places for new and exotic plant life or otherwise, becomes easier and more productive, as the plants, what they are and their location can be cataloged, or looked up against a master database. In construction, the forman could check the site against the blueprints, structural defects (see millivision above), etc...Like I said, IMHO, the possibilities of wearable computing when you combine it with other technologies is staggering. I'll stop here, I could go on for quite a while...
