Essentially, it's a military-spec wrist mounted portable computer.


I can't wait until these are affordable. Technology is getting SO cool recently.

I have an HP PocketPC I want to mod into something like this.

Now we just need a more refined version like what Leela from Futurama has. :p

That or I remember seeing a really cool concept of this sort of device that you wear like glasses, except its this really small piece of clear substance of some kind (maybe fiber optic?) that goes right in front of your pupil or whatever. So basically you can walk around with it on and all you have to do is focus on what you need to see. It kind of reminded me of a headset mic, except for your eye. Pretty neat idea. But meh, I'll take a netbook any day. lol

I wish we had advanced biotechnology, so we can just insert computers into our brains. Unfortunately, the latest breakthrough is giving a blind woman sight again through a hand held computer connected to her brain. The most she can see is blurs of light, which I guess represent objects. Very cool for someone who is blind. Although I think it only works on people who have had sight before and went blind, but I could be wrong.

But will it display the users' SPECIAL?
