wearable computing guru hired by Apple
Apple has hired Richard DeVaul to explore the possibilities of wearable computing. From his dissertation:
The short version is that I can improve your performance on a memory recall task by a factor of about 63% without distracting you, in fact without you being aware that I’m doing anything at all. Even more interesting is that giving you wrong information subliminally doesn’t seem to mess you up.
Additionally:
DeVaul will be working under Jonny Ive [Apple's lead designer] in a secret lab focused on wearable computing technology where only seven people besides Ive and CEO Steve Jobs know what he is doing.
