Abstract :
This paper describes a project based multi-disciplinary design course focusing on rapid prototyping of mobile computer systems. The class provides a unique experimental testbed, covering the full engineering design process. We built a novel input device integrated with a wearable computer system for aircraft technicians that combines training material and interactive electronic technical manuals. Integration of the input device and wearable computer with the application is also described.
