Valve Working on Wearable Computing Prototype

Last week?s news about Google?s Project Glass really received a lot of attention, and now, Michael Abrash of Valve Software reveals what the company has been currently working on: wearable computing technology.

Abrash is well-known programmer previously with Microsoft and Intel and co-author of Quake. He revealed the ongoing project in a blog entry on the Valve website. In a rather long, personal post, he admitted that the next step to mobile computing is having a more mobile form to it. ?The logical endpoint is computing everywhere, all the time ? that is, wearable computing ? and I have no doubt that 20 years from now that will be standard, probably through glasses or contacts, but for all I know through some kind of more direct neural connection,? says Abrash.

He, along with other developers, has been working on a prototype for wearable computing devices, but Abrash has honestly mentioned that it will not be on the market anytime soon. If anything, it?s still on a R&D stage. ?To be clear, this is R&D ? it doesn?t in any way involve a product at this point, and won?t for a long while, if ever ? so please, no rumors about Steam glasses being announced at E3.?
