Project Description

SoundWear is an AUI (Audio User Interface) developed for Windows 95/NT. It provides a natural computing environment for wearable computing that is unobtrusive and powerful. Most wearable computing systems are dependent on a GUI that is customized for desktop applications and not wearable computing. SoundWear gets around this problem by having it whole interface in the tactile and auditory domain. The only I/O that SoundWear uses is input from a Twiddler keyboard, audio I/O, and speech recognition.
