Just An Idea I had last friday. At the Amusement Park where I Admin, the Rides Department just got some new hand held radios, made b Motorola. don't know the model, but they were really, were said to have like a 3-5 mile range with a 10 hour battery life and the audio quality is just amazing, like a really good cell phone. And this god me thinking about its use in wearables, because that's quite a transmission range. The idea I had is one that has been around for a while, I even think a couple of Companies built ones that are audio only. But the key to this one is that that is all it is -- the user carries nothing with them save the radio to transmit and receive audio. I've never tried things like mBrola or EmacSpeak, ut I've been told their almost good. As for input, well, theoretically, since you aren't actually carrying the computer with you, power and weight aren't an issue, so the computer can be as powerful as you want and suck as much power as it wants, and so speech recognition may work. But I may have a better idea: It was just this morning, when I was going over my voice mail, and I looked at the keypad. Phone keypads transmit data through DTMF, right? Well, why couldn't you make a chording keyboard the same way? The keyboard signals could be sent on the microphone channel and the audio from the distant computer could be recieved on a headset. -- Subcription/unsubscription/info requests: send e-mail with subject of "subscribe", "unsubscribe", or "info" toWear-Hard Mailing List Archive (searchable): http://wearables.blu.org
