Abstract :
With the increasing needs for frequent instant communications, it becomes attractive to create an assistive device to facilitate software interaction. In this paper, we introduce a wearable communicating device featuring hands-free interaction. A prototype incorporating MCU, Bluetooth and App on mobile phone has been tested for feasibility and usability. Experimental results show that the proposed design functions as expected, showing great advantage in hands-free communication.
