The project was set up in Bristol, UK,at the start of 1997 as a collaboration between the Computer Science Department at the University of Bristol and the Hewlett-Packard Research Laboratories, Europe. We have been joined by the Appliance Studio Ltd. and international artists ...here nor there... who also have interests in wearable and ubiquitous computing. Together, we have developed a suite of programs which use context sensing devices to enable the right information to be delivered to the wearer of our jackets at the right time and in the right place. As part of Equator, we are developing a range of wearable computers to assist with research into the integration of digital services and thephysical world. We are also developing expertise in various positioning systems to assist with the location sensing needs of our Equator partners. |
