Click
here to locate the first book
at BARNES & NOBLE
This book presents,
to the layperson, wearable, mobile, wireless computing and communication,
and personal experiences of inventing, designing, building, and
wearing computers for the past 20 years, as well as how these inventions
affect society as a whole.
Click
here to locate the second
book at Wiley
This book teaches the fundamentals of wearable computing and
mediated reality, the EyeTap principle, the mathematical theory,
as well as the practical details of how to design and build these
systems.
Some reviews of "CYBORG: Digital Destiny and Human Possibility in the Age
of the Wearable Computer" (Randomhouse Doubleday) are now on the
Amazon.com site.
but you can get a better price, and better service by actually
ordering
it from BARNES & NOBLE instead!
