 I'm not really aware of anything like that for actual public consumption, however I can provide a couple links that may be of interest :

 MIT's wearable computing project : http://lcs.www.media.mit.edu/projects/wearables/

 Along with the "So you want to build your own wearable" FAQ at http://lcs.www.media.mit.edu/projects/wearables/FAQ/Wear-Hard.txt .
