Watch-sized computer will provide directions to nearest pub

Wherever the wearer goes the HandPC can connect to a global positioning satellite. A display will then appear on the screen giving details of the four nearest pubs and the distance to each.

The HandPC is part of a wearable computing project being worked on by the Bristol Computer Science department and Hewlett Packard Laboratories.
