Wearable computers are still a niche. Several wearable computers fail to meet the complex demands that users place on them. Multiple factors, such as usability, size, weight, safety, ruggedness, fashion, and harsh operational environments, must be addressed. As a result, the designers of wearable computers must try different designs and validate them to interest and satisfy their demanding and skeptical audience. Success often requires several iterations of the design. It is important to accelerate and reduce the cost of going from vision to market presence. In this article, the authors outline the several steps that lie between the vision and a marketable product and describe how they may each be sped up based on our experience with building two generations of the IBM Linux wrist watch prototype. Their approach to speeding up the prototyping process is based on the observation that the I/O capabilities are the key differentiators of wearables, while the raw computing capability typically lags those of general purpose computers.
