frog design and Motorola Launch Prototypes of Next Generation Wearable Wireless Solutions. frog design inc., the international digital and product design firm, has teamed with Motorola, Inc. to create a family of fashionable wearable devices representing the next generation of personal computing and wireless communications.

Combining the results of pervasive-computing research at MIT Media Lab with Motorola's iDEN technology has enabled frog to design an array of compatible modular wirelessly connected devices that may provide unprecedented interaction with the users. The futuristic devices include: glasses, ear buds, digital cameras, pens, and wrist bands. The family of futuristic products utilizes the latest advances in miniaturization and wireless connectivity technology to enable entertainment, business, and security-related communications and broadband applications.

The devices each have an independent power source and memory, and are wirelessly connected, allowing each device to share information with other devices and the user, operating as a seamless personal network. Having completed a series of designs demonstrating a vision of the future of wearable wireless communication technology, Motorola iDEN and frog design are now ready to begin the next step in the process: actual user testing.
