摘要：

Humans exhibiting enhanced capabilities through the use of implanted computers and electronics - otherwise known as cyborgs - have long been standard fare in popular science fiction movies and stories. This idea is no longer confined to creative Hollywood minds but is gradually finding its way into industries where it is proving to be very effective in terms of plant maintenance and personnel safety. Building on recent advances in mobile computing and sensor technology, the concept of wearable computing combines these technologies to produce invisible sensing devices that are capable of providing accurate information about the very often complex environment in which they operate. ABB has looked at how industrial environments, and in particular the service industry, can benefit from wearable computing solutions, and solutions combined with augmented reality. The science fiction of yesterday has become the technology of today.
