Wearable Technology that Helps with Public Speaking
From: Wireless Design & Development - 03/31/2015

Researchers develop a real-time feedback system using 'smart glasses'.

Speaking in public is the top fear for many people. Now, researchers from the
Human-Computer Interaction Group at the University of Rochester have
developed an intelligent user interface for "smart glasses" that gives
real-time feedback to the speaker on volume modulation and speaking rate,
while being minimally distracting.

The Rochester team describes the system, which they have called Rhema after
the Greek word for "utterance," in a paper that will be presented on Tuesday,
March 31 at the Association for Computer Machinery's Intelligent User
Interfaces (IUI) conference in Atlanta.

Smart glasses with Rhema installed can record a speaker, transmit the audio
to a server to automatically analyze the volume and speaking rate, and then
present the data to the speaker in real time. This feedback allows a speaker
to adjust the volume and speaking rate or continue as before.
