[Kai Kunze] from the Embedded Systems Lab at Passau came to 25C3 to talk about Cyborgs and Gargoyles: State of the Art in Wearable Computing. There have been a lot of homebrew wearable computing solutions, but [Kai] covered specifically projects that could see everyday use in the real world.

On a recent trip to New York City, [sherri] noticed the abundant “NYPD Security Camera” signage. She ? on her little sousveillance tour and did some digging to learn more about the system.

[Jeff] is continuing to work on his WiFi streaming radio project and is now into part 7. The reason it’s taken so long is because he’s bothering to document every single piece of the system instead of assuming too much of the reader.

The "Breath Bra" was created as a simple excersize using a LilyPad Arduino to record its wearer's breath over the course of a day or week and transmit the data over a Bluetooth connection to their cellphone (in this case a Nokia N95).

[Martin Beck] and [Erik Tews] have just released a paper covering an improved attack against WEP and a brand new attack against WPA(PDF). For the WEP half, they offer a nice overview of attacks up to this point and the optimizations they made to reduce the number of packets needed to approximately 25K.

After yesterday's fish blimp piqued my interest in quiet flying robots, I stumbled across this teleoperated blimp with a stereo vision system. Called YARB (Yet Another Robotic Blimp), the blimp is controlled remotely from another computer via a wireless connection and onboard firmware.

The inevitable mashup of the LilyPad Arduino and the XBee radio is in its final stages. Soon it will be easier than ever to integrate XBee communication in your wearbale projects.
