The best possible wearable is a bluetooth glove with a speaker in the thumb, a microphone in the pinky, and buttons on the knuckles. Sure, it's less practical than a traditional headset, but you can't beat the humor value of making calls with a finger phone.

"A ring that can read a barcode" my job had those. it was called a ring scanner, it strapped to 2 fingers and was about the size of a tictac container or Samsung styled wall-wart. was fairly heavy and could be uncomfortable to wear.

I hope this kind of technology still gets tested and innovated further. I really want to see Google Maps in AR for instance, put arrows down on the street like some video games for directions while biking for instance (without having to hold up my phone). I also really want to see what technological implants we could develop down this path, as long as it's safe and highly regulated to ensure so.

@@SivaKanthSharma update: here's what googling has taught me about the Motiv Ring. It used to be only a fitness tracker. Then Motiv was acquired by security firm Proxy (whose website is only a logo and a slogan right now and has been that way since at least July 22 according to the Wayback Machine, so THAT'S encouraging...) After the acquisition, Motiv discontinued the ring and added support for Proxy's two-factor authentication features. A weird move, simultaneously discontinuing and updating your only product. The new 2FA features were never displayed on Motiv's website, so I'm guessing they only did that for internal testing purposes while they developed new hardware or something. Anyway, with that and the Token Ring that had some media coverage but then seemingly never released the thing (they still have a website, apparently claiming they have an actual product, for real, they promise), the future of two factor authentication rings doesn't look bright.

The "Poma" reminds me of the eye wear used in some helicopters. I can't remember the type of helicopter it's used in right now, but it essentially meant that the pilot's eyes each serve a different visual function: one eye for weapons, and another for navigation - or something like that.

As a mobile enthusiast in '04, that Poma had actually pretty usable specs for an embedded of its era. CE was extremely resource efficient. 800x600 was a lot of resolution too, my PocketPC rocked a paltry 320x240 panel. $1500 is a LOT of money for it though. My 312MHz (overclocked to 520MHz) 32MB PDA only two years later was $400, and the $600 one could hit 624MHz with 64MB RAM/ROM. I miss those days.

There is an obvious one that everyone forgets: those hoodies with the headphones in the strings. I had one. First you lose the soft tips and then one side eventually doesn't work, but hey, it was pretty neat and no one would question you about it.

What gets me is that one shot of an Apple Watch or whatever reacting to the ring, when the ultimate wearable is a smart watch- it has touch screen, you can program swipes and touch gestures on it, and some models even have gesture controls. Heck, if we ever do a better AR visor, a good control device would be a companion watch with an IR pointer at one end to "aim" like a VR remote. And then, of course, it's still a watch!

that ring is all i think of when i see people wearing that health tracker ring that was really popular last year but still looked gaudy as hell.

I'm imagining a symphony conductor accidentally deleting all of his files during a performance because he left that stupid ring on.

I really wanted a Google Glass. Still do. I'll take a pass on keyboard pants though.

Ok I have an alternative proposal for the ring: Instead of on your finger, put it at the end of a stick. Not only will the increase in leverage make the gesture detection much more accurate it'd literally be a magic wand that lets you control your devices and stuff. Why control your smart devices with a boring and clunky smartphone app when you can use a magic wand instead?!?!

“Windows CE” when it was known by that name was not originally an OS for embedded system but for PDA's and Pocket PC's, only more recently has MS pivoted the use case for Windows CE to embedded systems changing the name to Windows Embedded Compact. When it first came out it was called Windows CE (the CE stood for nothing according to MS) It was originally for PDA’s and pocket PC’S. Around 2000, they made a version in Win CE for smartphones, which in 2003 changed it’s names to Windows Mobile. Windows Mobile trudged alone instill 2010 when MS announced Windows Phone as it replacement and all WM development ceased. Windows Mobile suffered largely from phone manufacturers and/or cell carriers refusing to update older phones, a practice common back then (even today few Android phones get much in the way of update guarantees), so if you wanted to have the latest WM version you needed to buy a new phone. For a time Windows CE-based PDA’s/Pocket PC’s coexisted with Smartphones until the dominance of iPhone and Android largely killed off the PDA/Pocket PC market save for the iPod Touch and a few Android-based PDA’s. As the market for Win CE and Windows Mobile -based PDA’s, smartphones, etc. dried up, MS pivoted Windows CE into Widows Embedded Compact (formally Windows Embedded CE but never “Windows Compact Embedded” as the CE has never stood for anything) since it was the perfect OS resource-wise for certain embedded systems. MS also sells or has sold other embedded OS’s like Windows XP Embedded. But back when it was called “Windows CE” it was not a OS for embedded systems.
