Apple Hires Wearable Computing Expert
In a possible indication that Apple (AAPL) is experimenting with a new development area, the company appears to have hired wearable computing expert Richard DeVaul in January as a senior prototype scientist. A graduate of the MIT Media Lab, Mr. DeVaul is best known for inventing “memory glasses”–tiny computer displays mounted on eyeglasses that would subtly remind people of things they may have forgotten. He describes his expertise in his blog as “signal processing and real-time statistical classification techniques.”
