Eschewing the monolithic design of the Lizzy 2, MIThril distributed the components of the wearable computer over a vest. The system avoided the x86 processor family and drove a 320x240 MicroOptical display directly, thus saving significant power. Its Anduin window manager focused on quick access and low-attention interfaces. It did not include a mouse pointer because “in many situations, using a pointer while engaged in other tasks is impractical.”
approximately $5000
