All the News That's Fit to Wear
by Leander Kahney

A wearable Linux computer that wirelessly beams video over the Net is
ready for testing. Developed for Internet journalists covering live
events, Art+Com's UrbanJunglePack (UJP) uses a camcorder and microphone to
record photos, sound, text, and video, which are transmitted with a
built-in wireless phone. The UJP prototype will be tested at the
LoveParade techno street party in Berlin this month. . . Reporters can
communicate with a base station and beam audio interviews via a built-in
mobile phone connected to the headset, a handheld microphone, and the
head-mounted camcorder. - - - - - - -
