Here is Intel explaining to all of us making "wearable computing" already that they want to play as well.

Thing is, all the examples in the video are powered by Raspberry Pi and Arduino.
I haven't spotted any Propellers in there yet but given JonnnyMac's creations there should be.

Makes you want to really have your lawyer look at any entry forms to protect your IP rights on anything you enter.
1) There are a lot of British, Aussie & possibly Dutch & South African accents in that video. Hollywood (and now possibly Intel) think we perceive people and their ideas as better, smarter & classier when they talk with a foreign accent. Certainly more exotic. Perhaps they wish to convey the idea that "we scoured the globe to find the best people." I don't think people are so easily fooled.
2) "Make it wearable" technology will generate a lot of "wardrobe malfunctions". Janet Jackson has nothing on Intel.
Thanks, Michael. I do the best I can via my column and my "Hollywood" projects. Hopefully, the GCC project will gain some real traction and the world at large will wake up to the horsepower of the Propeller.
A friend and I are scheming to use the Propeller as a specialty IO co-processor for the RPi; it seems to me that this could be an incredibly powerful combination. Any tips on where I can start learning Linux? I started with DOS and transitioned to Windows; have no real experience with any other OS. At the moment I'm teaching myself Python. In fact, I recently worked on a project (commercial for computer vendor) with Rick Galinson (Propeller paint-ball gun); I wrote a Python script to command a connected Propeller board to operate a servo and a couple outputs -- kind of the same theory as the RPi/Propeller combo.
Hopefully, nothing quite so "shocking."

I've just bought one from Digi-Key, it took me about 5 minutes to get one of the example programs working on it.

PuTTY really works well with an SSH approach, that is what I use until I get tired of using NANO, then I switch over to startx.

One more ornament and you have a (REALLY BIG) pair of wearable electronic ear rings!
Yes, I think there are even USEFUL wearable electronics! (like those fuzzy ears that monitor your brain waves
I suppose I could add turn and stop indictors to my motorscooter helmet that respond to a gyro and/or accelerometer. But that is almost too simple for these days.
"...international mode..."
That would probably be set up for an British English keyboard. Revenge at last for all those "English-US" settings we have had to suffer for decades.
Do checkout the program raspi-config that is tool to make setting many things on the Raspi easier post installation.
I almost never use X on the Pi. Too slow. Logging in via SSH and using vim for editing is just fine.
When it comes to GUI apps (including accelerated OpenGL 3D) you can write those in Qt to run straight into the frame buffer when started from the command line. No X required.

The one where he announced the Edison ? - the SD card sized CPU module, Wifi and Bluetooth ?
That looks very nifty - waiting on a price and more IO details.

hehe, I can see many a young dude would love a 'Girlfriend' version of that !!
Yes, they showed a lot of very cool stuff. I posted a thread with a link to the YouTube version. There was much more to it than just "wearable computing". I'm sure it was a real trick fitting a Pentium class system into an SD card form factor (okay, it's a Quark).
