Abstract :
Symbol Technologies has completed a unique accomplishment; it has created a commercially successful Wearable Computer. The success of this product is directly due to a structured development effort. This effort took into account the varied requirements of a device worn on the human body in a heavy industrial environment. It is designed to decode bar codes and transmit the decoded information in real time to a host device via a wireless local area network. This document contains anthropometric data tables.
