Abstract
This is a body-worn, hands-free activated computer that is constructed of materials that conduct heat and is heat insulating. The portion of the computer that is heat insulating is located closest to a wearer's body, the portion that is heat conducting is located farthest from the user's body. Heat is a major problem in wearable computers and this invention provides efficient ways for coping with heat generated by the CPU inside the computer housing. In addition to materials used in constructing the housing for this computer, a heat sink and heat-insulating logs are used to further deflect and direct heat away from a user.
