Abstract
In information society, Convergence means a service or new product which appeared through fusion of unit technologies in information and communication regions. The effects of convergence technologies and social phenomenons are visualized in overall regions of society such as economy, society, culture, etc. In this paper, we described a wearable computer which was leading case in digital convergence. Wearable computer is unit that you can literally wear on your body to enhance recognition abilities and problem-solving abilities by processing various types of integrated information. Therefore, we studied the issues, market and outlookof wearable computer in this paper.
