Windows Wearers on Mars

The system is designed to help astrobiologists select areas of special geological interest on future Mars missions. It includes a 667 MHz belt computer running Microsoft Windows, an eye display, finger mouse, camera and wearable keyboard. It can easily be adapted for use by robots.

 

The software is designed to spot areas of "uncommonality" in image maps, and can be easily configured to pick out areas of interest or look for specific features.

Hopfully, it's a full keyboard with 'ctrl', 'alt' and 'del' keys on it somewhere :)
