Wearable Tech

PhoneScoop shows us Frog Design/Motorola's new Wearable Technology.

Frog Design and Motorola today unveiled the "Offspring" concept design for a set of wearable devices. The individual pieces communicate via Bluetooth. A central device - the WDA - serves as the hub, and provides a wireless connection to an iDEN network. The design is only a concept at this point, although Motorola is preparing for user testing, and plans to bring a product based on the design to market within two years.

Devices include clip-on digital cameras, wearable digital assistants (WDA), goggles with heads-up display (albeit connected to the wall with a power cable), and a pen that saves what it writes in digital form.
