Filed in archive Cool , Products , Technology on June 26, 2005

For all of us who think it's maybe too hot today to work in the office space and that sunday is not the day to be in the office at all - it might be time to go swimming and diving - with the WetPC, the worlds first wearable underwater computer.

"The CGUI (Figure 2) facilitates the wearability and useability of the WetPC underwater computer. It was the result of several years of research into interface design and functionality. Rather like playing a piano, the user can interact with the computer in a very natural way - so much so the diver can access and record information with one hand - even whilst swimming."

The WetPC - Australia's hope for the future of their industry:"Due to AIMS' efforts, australia is now in an excellent position to develop a new industry, and to become a world leader, in mobile computing technologies." (That was in the 1990ies)
