Mann, Steve
Steve is regarded by many as the inventor of the wearable computer, the Eyetap video camera, and the reality mediator. Steve is the world's first cyborg. He has been wearing his computers for over 20 years now.

Betty
Betty is considered to be the world's second wearable computer "cyborg", and has been working with Steve, collaborating, and wearing computers for the last sixteen years.

Ahmed, Taneem
Taneem is the HI lab's leading WearComp kernel hacker. Taneem enjoys writing device drivers for WearComp vidcap, and is also not afraid of hand assembly of machine instructions for some of the obscure microprocessors found in EyeTap equipment.

Boyer, Jason
Jason has been wearing the 12kJ flashlamp around University of Toronto recently, and previously wore the telepointer pendant camera system. Jason's focus has been loadbearing, backpack, and helping with the full power wearcomp systems.

Chen, Daniel
Daniel has been working on the HI Lab's ThoughtCam (thought reading camera) and has learned how to navigate the picture production menus with his thoughts.

Dalacostas, Peter
Peter is the HI Lab's long range overview person, always on the lookout for low cost materials for WearComps, etc., and one of the most often running cyborgs of the EyeTap generation.

DeVaul, Richard W.
Richard focus is on developing wearable computing as a cheap, flexible platform for a wide range of personal applications as opposed to specialized military or industrial uses.

Fearnley, Derek
Derek hacks mechanical systems for WearComp; built his own rig that works quite well. Derek, together with Milan, is a member of the commitee (informally known as the "Space Cadets") on space management for the HI Lab. His interests include Cognitive Science and Artifical Intelligence as applied to the WearComp. He's also one of the lead TAs for the ECE385 WearComp undergrad labs.

Fung, James
James is a reporter for ENGwear (Electronic News Gathering with a wearable computer) who recently has taken footage of the Ontario Coalition Against Poverty riot in Toronto.

Hartman, Jeff
Jeff helped design the Digiman wearable computer and continues to develop, maintain, and research new ideas to further the science of wearable computing

HILab Group
This photo gallery has two group pictures of Steve Mann and his current students in the HILab of the University of Toronto.

Melzer, Jordan
Jordan's interests have included mainly the mathematical and communications aspects of the WearComp invention. Jordan has also recently obtained his ham radio license for working with WearComp base stations.

Milicic, Milan
Milan is a glynx (graphical lynx) hacker, and a member of the commitee (informally known as the "Space Cadets") on space management for the HI Lab. His interests include Cognitive Sciences and Artifical Intelligence as applied to WearComp.

Moncrieff, Eric
Eric was a reporter for the HI Lab's ENGwear (Electronic News Gathering with a wearable computer) project. He was one of the lead TAs for the undergrad ECE385 WearComp labs at University of Toronto. He's also a good PIC hacker, and has been working with the HI Lab's septambic keyers.

Post, Rehmi
Remi is not only interested in wearable computing, but washable computing as well. Two ideas that go together well.

Priest-Dorman, Greg
Greg has built three different wearables, Herbert's 1-3.

Starner, Thad
Thad Starner is founder and director of the Contextual Computing Group at Georgia Institute of Technology's College of Computing. Thad has worn his wearable computer since 1993.

Tang, Felix
Felix is a good overall hacker, accomplished in the art of SCSI hacking on WearComps. He will soon be starting his thesis, and is already making great headway from what he learned in UofT's ECE1766.
