Capturing Critical Information using The Wearable Intelligent Reporting Environment (WIRE)
Michael Orr, Helen Wright Hastie, D Miksch, Joshua Flanders, Celeste Corrado · 2005
First responders and patrolling soldiers equally share the problem of reporting observations from the field. Current methods are often tedious and require a significant amount of attention to complete, distracting the mobile user from attending to the current situation. This paper presents the Wearable Intelligent Reporting Environment (WIRE), a capability allowing deployed personnel to record observations from the field in an easy intuitive spoken language interface that is natural to use. In addition to supporting an interface to collect observations, WIRE enables transmission from the field, dramatically increasing the dissemination and analysis of critical intelligence information.
