Hmm..this thread brings to mind an interesting experiment.... I wonder how hard it be to teach a wearable how to "lip-read." Instead of using voice recognition, use a camera and modified face recognition algorythms. It would be more processor/hardware intensive, but I bet the data sets between different people using the same language wouldn't be as wildly different as their vocal patterns would be. People tend to communicate facially in very similar ways. Facial hair would be a problem, most likely, but other things like lipstick would provide even higher contrast for the muscle patterns. --friar -- Subcription/unsubscription/info requests: send e-mail with subject of "subscribe", "unsubscribe", or "info" toWear-Hard Mailing List Archive (searchable): http://wearables.ml.org
