Bloomington company gets grant to continue work on wearable supercomputer

A Bloomington company has won a government grant to continue its development of a wearable supercomputer.

MNB Technologies Inc. is working on a 16-ounce device "that packs the computing power of 10 to 12 desktop computers into
a
gadget about the size of a paperback book," the company said.

The grant, from the U.S. Department of Defense, is worth $85,000. The device can be strapped to a soldier’s belt, with the
screen viewable through a high-definition, head-mounted monitor. It also includes a foldable wireless keyboard and mouse.

The company was founded in 2004.
