Abstract:
Techniques for leveraging the capabilities of wearable mobile technology to collect data and to provide real-time feedback to an orator about his/her performance and/or audience interaction are provided. In one aspect, a method for providing real-time feedback to a speaker making a presentation to an audience includes the steps of: collecting real-time data from the speaker during the presentation, wherein the data is collected via a mobile device worn by the speaker; analyzing the real-time data collected from the speaker to determine whether corrective action is needed to improve performance; and generating a real-time alert to the speaker suggesting the corrective action if the real-time data indicates that corrective action is needed to improve performance, otherwise continuing to collect data from the speaker in real-time. Real-time data may also be collected from members of the audience and/or from other speakers (if present) via wearable mobile devices.
