“It Was The First Time Anyone Had Seen A Computer Like This”

Wearable computing, as predicted by an IBM spot in 1997. From the commercial’s director, John Allen: “We did this piece for IBM in 1997 or so. It was the first time anyone had seen a computer like this, wearable, almost invisible, elegant and futuristic. In fact, we still haven’t seen anything like this. It was a prototype that had to be signed in and out every time it was transported. It is yet to be put into production 15 years later.”
