Wearable computers (and other devices)

I saw THIS and decided it had to be posted. It's super cool, fits like a.... glove(?). And uses leds to light. The best we had was the little lights that hung onto our buttonholes in the Army. They put out a lot of light when squeezed. Shined in different colors. These would be good because the light would be just where you need it, but a good headlamp is always appreciated for when you need to touch something.
Those GloveLED things would be great worn while carrying an M4 into a crowded house. You point your fireteam where you want them to go, and there is no confusion because of the light. Get them in IR for ultimate effectiveness with night-vision goggles (NVGs).
I'm ready to sign the contract now, are you?
