Abstract

Implementing effective control systems for wearable computers presents numerous design challenges, especially when the end users are soldiers who need to use their hands to control weapons rather than computers. The paper describes the work performed and the results achieved by the System Voice Control team on the Force XXI Land Warrior (FXXI LW) project at Motorola. This team integrated Motorola´s CVoxCon Speech recognition system into an existing soldier computer system. The successful CVoxCon implementation suggests guidance for other efforts and areas for future investigation.
