While the basic technology has existed for decades, only recently have these devices become practical and desirable. Using consumer, professional, and \u201cmaker\u201d devices, this exhibit demonstrates four challenges along the road to making a consumer wearable computer: power and heat, networking, mobile input, and displays. The groups of head-mounted displays shown here reflect product categories that developed as these challenges were addressed: \u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp class=\u0022p2\u0022\u003E\u00b7\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;virtual reality displays which seek to remove the user from reality\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp class=\u0022p2\u0022\u003E\u00b7\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;portable video viewers for entertainment\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp class=\u0022p2\u0022\u003E\u00b7\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;industrial systems designed to support work tasks\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp class=\u0022p2\u0022\u003E\u00b7\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;early academic and maker systems that provide smartphone-like productivity and communication abilities for everyday use and\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp class=\u0022p2\u0022\u003E\u00b7\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;current consumer devices that leverage modern miniaturized sensors and wireless mobile networks to provide services that are \u201cthere when you need it, gone when you don\u2019t.\u201d\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp class=\u0022p1\u0022\u003E\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp class=\u0022p1\u0022\u003EThe Exhibition will be open to the public from January 5\u003Csup\u003Eth\u003C\/sup\u003E\u0026nbsp;through January 23\u003Csup\u003Erd\u003C\/sup\u003E\u0026nbsp;8AM \u2013 5PM. \u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp class=\u0022p1\u0022\u003EFuture Events:\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp class=\u0022p1\u0022\u003EJanuary 15\u003Csup\u003Eth\u003C\/sup\u003E\u0026nbsp;6PM:\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;Curator Tour with Clint Zeagler \u0026amp; Thad Starner\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp class=\u0022p1\u0022\u003EJanuary 22\u003Csup\u003End\u003C\/sup\u003E\u0026nbsp;6PM:\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;Lecture - Designing the Exhibition to Travel\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp class=\u0022p1\u0022\u003Ewith Kevin Shankwiler and Yoni Kaplan\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Meeting The Challenge: The Path Towards a Consumer Wearable Computer - Curator Tour with Clint Zeagler \u0026 Thad Starner"}],"uid":"28150","created_gmt":"2015-01-12 13:55:18","changed_gmt":"2017-04-13 21:20:42","author":"Birney Robert","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2015-01-15T17:00:00-05:00","event_time_end":"2015-01-15T18:00:00-05:00","event_time_end_last":"2015-01-15T18:00:00-05:00","gmt_time_start":"2015-01-15 22:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2015-01-15 23:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2015-01-15 23:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"hg_media":{"363191":{"id":"363191","type":"image","title":"Wearable Computing Exhibit - 2015","body":null,"created":"1449245793","gmt_created":"2015-12-04 16:16:33","changed":"1475895098","gmt_changed":"2016-10-08 02:51:38","alt":"Wearable Computing Exhibit - 2015","file":{"fid":"201610","name":"wearable_computing_exhibit.jpeg","image_path":"\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/wearable_computing_exhibit_0.jpeg","image_full_path":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/\/sites\/default\/files\/images\/wearable_computing_exhibit_0.jpeg","mime":"image\/jpeg","size":124813,"path_740":"http:\/\/hg.gatech.edu\/sites\/default\/files\/styles\/740xx_scale\/public\/images\/wearable_computing_exhibit_0.jpeg?itok=RFzG6oi4"}}},"media_ids":["363191"],"groups":[{"id":"47223","name":"College of Computing"},{"id":"50875","name":"School of Computer Science"},{"id":"50876","name":"School of Interactive Computing"},{"id":"50877","name":"School of Computational Science and Engineering"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"38451","name":"georgia tech school of industrial design"},{"id":"1946","name":"GVU"},{"id":"167177","name":"School of Architecture"},{"id":"168021","name":"stubbins gallery"},{"id":"96081","name":"Wearable Computing Center"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78751","name":"Undergraduate students"},{"id":"78761","name":"Faculty\/Staff"},{"id":"78771","name":"Public"},{"id":"174045","name":"Graduate students"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EJoshua Preston\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:jpreston@cc.gatech.edu\u0022\u003Ejpreston@cc.gatech.edu\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
