Xybernaut

Xybernaut Corporation was a pioneer in the wearable computing industry, specializing in the development of hands-free, mobile computer systems. Founded in 1990, the company gained prominence for its Mobile Assistant series, which provided users with portable data access and computing power in field environments. While the company served various industrial and defense sectors, it had a significant focus on healthcare, marketing its devices for medical imaging, surgical assistance, and clinical documentation. Despite its early technological leadership, the company faced severe financial difficulties and legal scandals involving its founders, leading to a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing in 2005 and the eventual liquidation of its assets.
