Abstract :
We are investigating the use of badge based wearable computers to create highly mobile location and environment aware systems. When coupled to intelligent servers the badges provide an unparalleled platform for human centred information environments. This paper describes the architecture of the badge, its distributed computing environment, and presents initial results of application development trials conducted by a class of telecommunications students at KTH
