This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I research project focuses on the porting a proprietary voice interface to a low-power wearable platform. A major challenge of this development is the elimination of hardware support for floating point calculations that are not typically included on low-power embedded platforms. This proposal addresses mobility characteristics by focusing the critical issues such as investigation of feasible methods for reducing the complexity of algorithms, and the lack of hardware support for floating point arithmetic on a low-power device as used in embedded applications.This project addresses the development of a novel information management system for the visually impaired. It also has the potential to revolutionize the information management needs for sighted people as well, and address niche applications such as prosthetic devices for 'forgetfulness'. Most importantly, this technology has many useful applications such as assisting people with other types of disabilities besides visual impairment.

该小型企业创新研究（SBIR）第一阶段研究项目的重点是将专有语音接口移植到低功耗可穿戴平台。这种开发的一个主要挑战是消除对浮点计算的硬件支持，这些硬件通常不包括在低功耗嵌入式平台上。本项目针对移动性的特点，研究降低算法复杂性的可行方法，以及嵌入式应用中浮点运算在低功耗设备上缺乏硬件支持等关键问题。本项目致力于为视障人士开发一种新的信息管理系统。它也有可能彻底改变视力正常的人的信息管理需求，并解决利基应用，如“健忘”的假肢设备。最重要的是，这项技术有许多有用的应用，例如帮助视力障碍以外的其他类型的残疾人。
