NEC has just relesed Tele Scouter, a wearable computer with a head-mounted transmissive LCD display designed for workers in outdoor environments such as contruction workers.
 Available

features a small (90 x 140 x 55mm, W X D X H) and lightweight (360g) PC unit
as well as a set of special glasses, which is equipped with a
semi-transmissive LCD (800 x 600 pixels) to allow the user read information
while working.
The PC unit is powered by an ARM 500MHz processor, it has 256MB of memory,
