Biometrics company Aware, Inc. announced today the completion of an agreement for the sale of $75 million worth of patents to Intel. The patents involved in the sale relate largely to networking and wireless technologies.
Apple in a low-key move has hired Richard DeVaul for what may indicate the long-term direction of its devices. The AWare Technologies founder has been a Senior Prototype Scientist at the company since January and is best-known for his doctorate work at MIT, where he specialized in wearable computer technology. Among his developments are a heads-up display that provides subtle memory clues and a "body-worn network" that would use a set of nodes to provide environmental and navigational data to the wearer.
