This watch was first shown to the public at the LinuxWorld Expo at San Jose in Aug 2000. A paper describing application design for this high function watch will be presented at the International Symposium of Wearble Computing in Oct 2000. If you would like to work on this or other exciting projects at IBM Research please visit the career opportunities at IBM Research page. In addition, the watch will provide users with calendar, address book and to-do list functions. The watch contains a powerful processor along with eight megabytes of flash memory and another eight megabytes of dynamic random access memory.
Users interact with the watch through a combination of a touch-sensitive screen and a roller wheel.
The watch also has both IR and RF wireless connectivity. I have authored several journal publications, conference papers, and book chapters. I received my B.Tech. Bombay in 1986, and my M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Computer and Systems Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 1987 and 1991, respectively. I worked on multiprocessor graphics, rendering algorithms, and geometric modeling.
