‘Fashion in Motion’
p2pnet.net News:- It was the Cellular Telecommunications and Internet Association (CTIA) wireless convention in Atlanta – “mostly talking heads and Bluetooth technology,” writes ExtremeTech’s Jim Louderback here.
But in the back of the Georgia World Congress Center, nestled among the sleek handsets and svelte headsets, was a fashion show runway and …
… “Along with the great gear, CTIA presented the Fashion in Motion catwalk show.
“Semi-starved models flounced around the runway sporting mobile (and not so mobile) gear, accessories and smart clothing.
“I arrived just after it started, and pushed my way to the front. Luckily, I brought my digital camera, so I was able to snap pictures of this spectacle as it unfolded. What follows are some highlights ? and lowlights ? of this oddly compelling exhibition.
“And, because sometimes truth is stranger than storytelling, instead of pithy and cynical comments, I’ll let the fashion show speak for itself. I managed to snag a copy of the script from its author, Kathy Klingele. So enjoy what follows, in Kathy’s own words. “
Check it out.
For now, to give you a taste, here’s one of the items (we doctored the pic a bit to put the two images together).
It features Microvision Imagic Display Glasses and the caption goes: “A unique technique projects SVGA quality color images on the retina, putting digital information directly in your line of sight. Experience the power of visual liberation.”
Right. heh.

I wanted to post a correction. NetworkAnatomy displayed two wearable systems. The one you call CommanderGauntlet from your picture is actually called CommanderPack, which is a complete wearable interoperable communication systems designed for public safety, search and rescue, homeland security and military use. The CommanderGauntlet is actually a wrist worn communication device that has cellular, Satellite, GPS and 2 way radio built-in to a wearable glove. They both service the same industries worldwide. You would have liked the real Gauntlet picture. Thank you.
