Wearable Computing At The Mit Media Lab With heads up displays, unobtrusive input devices, personal wireless local area networks, and a host of other context sensing and communication tools, the wearable computer can act as an intelligent assistant, whether it be through a remembrance agent, augmented reality, or intellectual collectives. I met steve mann at mit media lab in 1995 and it was largely following my meeting with him that i took an interest in the area of wearable computers, augmented reality and related fields.
Wearable Computing Intro Page [2] sixthsense is a gesture based wearable computer system developed at mit media lab by steve mann in 1994 and 1997 (headworn gestural interface), and 1998 (neckworn version), and further developed by pranav mistry (also at mit media lab), in 2009, both of whom developed both hardware and software for both headworn and neckworn versions of it. In 1991, mann was accepted into mit (massachusetts institute of technology) and brought his digital eye glass invention to the mit media lab to found the mit wearable computing project, as its first member. Over the past decade, its work has expanded from personal computers to ubiquitous interfaces: augmented reality glasses that read your thoughts, wearables that measure emotions and interactive environments that respond to your movements. Sixthsense is a wearable gestural interface that augments the physical world around us with digital information and lets us use natural hand gestures to interact with that information. pranav mistry of mit media lab is the inventor of the sixthsense.

Students at the mit media lab have developed a wearable computing system that turns any surface into an interactive display screen. the wearer can summon virtual gadgets and internet data at will, then dispel them like smoke when they’re done. Professor chen has been working on wearable computing for over 20 years, and is china’s leading authority in the field. professor chen was a student of professor mann’s at mit in the 1990’s, after which he went on to introduce wearable computing into china. Nec and mit media lab study wearable sensor data to detect chronic stress in working adults using 250,000 hours of eda data. Groupmedia is a set of tools and applications to enable social context awareness and quantitative intelligence on pervasive cell phones and pdas. by building quantitative models of human behavior and social interaction, we can devise next generation social software for the wearable devices.
