Not forgetting this guy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Wearcompevolution.jpg
But the technology in the linked article is streets ahead.
Particularly interesting to me is that the MIT people have better ideas on what uses a wearable computer could be put to than I've ever heard of before. Assuming real life and today's technology, that is - I've heard cooler ideas in Sci-Fi.
Projecting a paint program? Useful, but not as ubiquitous as a piece of paper and a pen. Hooked up to a mobile so you could bluetooth the picture to someone else? Better. Projecting a live, dynamic map? Very ... social. Moreso than the eyeglasses wearable devices.
