Wear Hacks and Projects pages
It became clear during the wiki transition that I had a number of “get 'em on the field” hacks in a variety of formats and locations as well as other wearable related pages and I needed to gather them up.
As I clean up my site, this is where they will all be listed. For now it is a growing list of links to where they currently reside.
1997
-
Protoype keygrip that then became a working chorder. Photos show concept model and what it actually became as well as the version of Herbert it was used with.
1998
-
Scans of the parts for a leather chorder that was sold to an engineer at JPL in 1998.
2000

Linux kernel chording keyboard modification
A project initialy coded by Jinnah Hosein which I then modified for later kernels. It has been superseeded by the Spiffchorder.
-
A local copy of the Charmed Technology site which sold the Charmit kit. This was a commercial open source wearable that Charmed sold from 2000 - 2004. I was hired by Charmed in 1999 to design and build a wearable that could be built and used by hobbyists and those looking to explore the field. This is the product that came out of that endeavor.
- TextConfig file for the M1
For using the QVGA M1 display in text modes I generated these TextConfig lines.

Battery Clips for mini-banana type batteries
Quick clips for sony type camcorder batteries.

A handheld chorder built on a plastic phonerest (the kind of thing you stick on the back of a handset to let you hold the phone against your ear with your sholder).

The CHORD project was a design I submitted to Embedded Linux Journel's MZ104 “Hack Embedded Linux for Fun and Prizes” contest. It was a finalist and I won an MZ104 board and developers kit. This is my (minimal) documentation of that project.

A few pictures compairing the charmit and the smaller charmerino case. I wore the charmerino for 5 years.

3 pictures of the 1.8 inch 9.5mm high 20gig Hitachi HTC424020 drive.
Each picture also has a 2.5 inch 4 gig toshiba laptop drive and a 320 meg IBM microdrive for comparison.

Speech input / Speech output Charmit
A few pictures of the Charmit and battery sleds put together for a V.A. project providing audio navigation. The rig was sent off to Conversay so they could install their speech input engine. These shots were for them.
