WT4000 Series Wearable Terminal
wow. very usefull machine
If the person using the device never has a need to type beyond numbers…this could be a decent device. Beyond that, with 4 functions per key and color coded multiple shift…no screen sensitive display… I would not recommend this for an inventory system which may need to type alpha and numeric symbols. Great looking design…but the form does not fit the function.
An interesting and undoubtedly cool development in the area of wearable computers. The WT4000 does not use a touchscreen but relies on keyboard navigation instead. There are three sets of keys. To the left of the display are Esc, Tab, Ctrl, Shft and a function key that provides access to Alt and Menu. Along the bottom are two programmable keys that also control brightness, and a large enter key. To the right is a 15-key multifunction phone-style keypad that can also be used for alphanumeric text entry.
