i'm a simple man: i just want 108 keys split into two panels on a vest. USB-A connector would be fine, maybe even ideal. i'll jack it into the system i want. i guess it would need a killswitch or something.

I built myself a HUD using a VuFine LCD and a raspi Zero W. It runs a custom TUI I wrote for myself that provides an interactive terminal session surrounded by configurable text widgets.
Currently, I have widgets configured to display the date/time, the weather (near-term and week), and CPU/Mem utilization. With the main display running my combined to-do/calendar app to help keep me organized.
It's tacky as hell, bulky and exposed wires, but I love it.
This is the dystopian 80's-cyberpunk future that I want!
I already have an Apple Watch. That’s enough for me.
Not a device but your post reminded of how I always want very thin but warm gloves this time of year so I can use a keyboard and phone without my fingers getting cold. I try to keep my heater usage to a minimum.
Get some woolen glove liners. Thin, warm (at least for inside) and not too expensive.
Glove liners, I'll try that. Thanks for the suggestion.
I'd like to know if there is a sci-fi source for this; I've wanted — what I call — infinifabric for a long time. Basically a cross between:
-
the microbots in Big Hero 6,
-
the symbiote from Spider-Man (sans sentience), and
-
programmable matter from Star Trek: Discovery
One fabric layer that can reshape itself into any and every conceivable article of clothing. Perfectly regulates body temperature, water loss, and environmental challenges.
From Altered Carbon: an Oni. Built-in telecommunications. Seems way closer to fruition than DHF stacks. Though, is the stack worn so much as is part of oneself? In universe, it seems that the stack IS the person.
From Dune, Foundation, and that one episode of Star Trek: TNG: a personal shield.
This topic makes me wonder if prosthetic devices count as "wearables", per se, or not. If anyone out there is in the know — you or someone you're close to have (has)/wear(s) a prosthesis — please let me know.
So you want a phone strapped to your wrist that can be oriented vertically or horzontally? Some samsung devices sport styluses, namely the ultra phone, that you can use instead of your fingers as it can be hard or impossible to do with gloves on. The unfortunate downside to this is that your arm would get tired after long use, and you are more dependent on headphones/earbuds or speakerphone for calls. A phone attached to your arm could be clumsy for quick actions and needs your hands to be free to use, but you live with what you have.
Maybe instead, a mechanical arm that attaches to your shoulders will be more versatile as you can still do one-handed, and your arm will not get tired. Could maybe include a stabilizer in the design for great video recording capabilities.
That's true, I already get annoyed with my watch sometimes
Having a mechanical arm would be pretty cool actually, and it already exists. It wouldn't work for all cases, but maybe some times
The phone or display attached to your arm /wrist will not work for all cases either, so we are just looking for enhancements to those who can take advantage of it. The rest will need either more specialized solutions or don't need it.
I backed the Pebble Core Kickstarter (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/getpebble/pebble-2-time-2-and-core-an-entirely-new-3g-ultra) - never actually happened cos Pebble ran out of cash before they shipped any, but I've always thought the idea was really interesting
I use an apple watch series 2 I'm pretty content with that although it could do with an battery replacement
(Just plug it in to recharge it)
Just turn it off and on again
They make phone forearm mounts for runners.
Nothing.
I hate having to have my goddamn phone on me all the time, and thats in my pocket.
last thing I want to do is have some piece of shit, ad-laden security back door as part of wearable fashion.
Not wanting anything is fair, but the intent here was the best case scenario (even unrealistically so). So the device would not have anything you don't want, ads and security issues included
Again, not wanting any device is cool too
