More and more, people are simply wearing their technology, proof positive that the SCOTTeVEST is no fad -it's here to stay. In its report, The Global Market for Wearable Computers: The Quest for Killer Applications, Venture Development Corporation projects global shipments of wearable computers to grow to over $563 million in 2006. Driving this growth will be the expanding use of wearable computers in vertical markets and applications in which tangible ROI, cost savings, and improved customer satisfaction prove the benefits derived via "hands free" computing and real-time access to information, VDC says. The report discusses the emergence of "smart fabrics" or interactive textile wearable products that will lead to a viable market by 2006. Anticipated markets include: military, medical, public safety, sports, and outdoor activities. VDC expects a growing number of users will desire the true wearability that clothing based computers will provide as well as obtaining vital information through bio-monitoring. Hey, it's music to our ears. Obviously, at SCOTTeVEST, the future is now.
