<< As a challenge for the wearable community - What would make ISWC better? What themes should be addressed? >> imho,, The issues looming largest from the standpoint of the future of WCs lies in the acceptance and demand by the large mass market that will support realistically priced available systems. This admittedly follows the current issues facing the pioneers, early developers, and user builder's phases. If this follow-up phase is of concern to the ISWC then I offer the following. I would think that the themes to be addressed in the next level thinking are whatever accelerates the 'Friendly', ease of use hardware AND the 'Useful', needed, truly helpful software apps. The lessons from past Tech Discoveries which then see implementation by manufactures too often are followed by few buyers due to the above missing values. This short sight should be avoided in WCs next level of evolution to manufacturing. In many years of exploring the realms of Useful & Friendly WCom for the deaf, one sees the primary goal as a "full time - real time personal display of human speech". I believe the additional necessity of feed back in voice training for the user, is equally as important to the obvious need of 'spoken' info to AND/OR from the rest of the world. (some signers may only want 'from' not a full voiced communication). When a usable app comes to the real world for the deaf, it would likely become a volume boost to WCs ubiquity in general, since it is a very large user group. This group may also have use for most all other WC apps, in addition to the truly useful voice I/O. Conversely a truly friendly full time useful Speech I/O WC could be a rig for what ever other add on apps such a higher performance platform would need to be.
