Swatch cyber.commander

This watch is a specially equipped Swatch used in combination with a special mouse pad to establish connections to your favorite sites on the Web. Once activated, by scanning the watch on the mouse pad, the cyber.commander automatically propels you into cyberspace giving you hands-free access and complete login control.
How it works: Inside a special microchip, a personal identification number is stored which gives access to a host of personally selected data such as passwords protected mailboxes, preferred website addresses, instant messenger service etc. This type of data can all be stored in the chip. There are also pre-selected services offered to the user which can be accessed with the cyber.commander and which is updated at regular intervals without the customer having to buy new software. The chip can store between 6 and 10 different services that can be updated and replaced at any time.

Contactless communication between the watch and the mousepad makes it simple to operate. The mouse pad incorporates newly developed electronics and is connected to the computer's USB interface. The network on the surface of the mousepad represents the Internet. The data highway is visualized in the center of the network and shows how the stored information is transferred from the watch via the mousepad to the computer. Transparent casing gives you a clear view of the movement. If cyber.commander is lost, the data stored in the watch can be immediately blocked to prevent any fraudulent uses of the data. Requires Windows 98 software for your PC or the operating system OS 8.6 for your Mac or any of the more recent versions. Package contains the cyber.commander, the mousepad, CD Rom (containing the necessary software and the operating instructions). Available October 2001.
