Bremen is it

Filed in archive Technology on March 10, 2007

You probably not know the wonderful German town Bremen? It's just one of the oldest Sea-side cities. However, because it has the lead in the wearIT@work project (a brand that should definitive be reworked...), you may call it "Capital of Wearable Computing" too ;-) And Bremen presents some great technologies @ CeBIT. Two example:

Dazu geh�rt der Demonstrator "Hot wire", ein Praxistest f�r Wearable Computing-Technologien aus dem Bremer Mobile Research Center (MRC), und der "PointScreen" vom Fraunhofer Institut. Letzterer ist eine interaktive Projektionsfl�che, die es den Nutzern erm�glicht, den Computer allein mit Gesten zu steuern und durch blo�es Zeigen zu navigieren.

(English: Hot Wire is to test wearable computing applications for in- and ouput (like data gloves), PointScreen is to interact with a computer only with gestures. The next Wii interface if you want. btw, tonight I'm at the Wii Crip Berlin - drop me an e if you're there...)
