Abstract

Describes a low power high performance wearable computing platform, specifically designed for easy integration into everyday clothing. It combines a heterogenous, distributed, user reconfigurable system architecture, advanced power management features and highly miniaturized, mechanically flexible electronic packaging technology. As a result the WearARM system offers high performance for a wide range of application in a form factor that allows it to be worn without in any noticeable way interfering with your look and comfort
