Dog@Watch

Reporting from the SIGGRAPH cyber fashion show, Wired has spotted Dog@Watch. Created by Wearable Environmental Information Networks of Japan, the wrist-worn device looks like a plushie toy but contains a GPS location device, a cellphone for voice dialing parents, and an alarm to signal when its child wearer is in danger.

The 9-year-old model was not entirely satisfied: "I'd like a jacket that has a TV on the sleeve, so I can watch shows all day -- but mostly, I want clothes that do my homework for me."
