Top 5 Wearable Computing Links recommended by Future Physical

The MIT Wearable Computing Resources
http://www.media.mit.edu/wearables/lizzy/index.html

A brief history of wearable computing
http://www.media.mit.edu/wearables/lizzy/timeline.html
Detailled history of wearables - back to eyeglasses & pocket watches. Excellent research resource!

MIT Wearables Computing Associated Papers
http://www.media.mit.edu/wearables/lizzy/mitres.html
More excellent links from the MIT site, but focused on research papers surrounding this field.

Sulawesi Introduction
http://wearables.essex.ac.uk/sulawesi/introduction.html
Good straight explanations of relevant terms. This is an article detailling a specific framework, but it is short and provides great examples.

Wearable Computing FAO
http://www.wearcam.org/wearcompfaq.html
You will find both related definitions and explanations on this page, and also references to bio and social issues.

Wearable Computing Article
http://about.eyetap.org/fundamentals
Good clear article which provides definitions and then leads into to an outline of the "fundamental issues of wearable computing".

Wearable Computing Meets Ubiquitous Computing
http://xenia.media.mit.edu/~rhodes/Papers/wearhive.html

Ubiquitous (Environmental) vs Wearable (Personal). Interesting academic essay.
