The Linux Watch is a wearable information access device that is worn on the wrist. It is an ARM7-based low-power Linux system with short-range wireless communications and a multi-modal (voice and image) user interface in a watch shape and is used as a future pervasive device platform in IBM Research . A Hands-free Mobile System is a kind of speech-oriented client-server system using a watch. The watch acts as a front-end user interface device but appears to have all the functions and intelligence of the server including voice-recognition and synthetic speech capability via its multi-modal user interface. This paper describes the watch hardware platform and the concept of Hands-free Mobile System .
