    Well, it is my homemade wearable "Igor". A Toshiba Libretto, a twiddler
    keyboard and a head up display. It is in principle functional, but has a
    few problems: 1) The HUD headband is far to strong and headache
    inducing, so it has to be changed. 2) I have not had the time/skills to
    make a good battery pack providing current at suitable voltages to the
    devices making it truly portable. 3) The display size is very small.
    Still, it is a nice demonstration that you can make a simple wearable on
    a very low budget.
