Wong from Georgia Tech wearing his espresso
machine.

Farringdon (left) showing the Phillip's UK wearable electronics at the
show.
Bradley
also from GT with the beginning of a wearable based face recognition machine
(there are 2 cameras in his helmet, the one in the middle is the "gesture
pendant").
The "Whisper" a wristwatch style wearable handset (F. Masaaki and T. Yoshinobu).
The device works as an interface for a cellphone. The microphone is in
the wrist and the speaker uses his index finger as a medium, so you put
your finger in your ear an you listen through it.
Hiroaki
Ueda, from Minolta Optics Tech. Division.
Talking about his holographic-based forgettable glass-mounted display.

based on the OnHandPC and using
a GPS, a Digital Compass, and a Voice Recognition module it works by now
as a "Pub crawler" in Bristol UK.
Brian Clarkson from MIT, in his talk about recognizing user's context
via visual sensors fused with audio information.
One of
the speakers from IBM, showing the use of the Linux-based wrist-watch,
combined with an IBM wearable computer (on his belt). He showed us in the
