Design and Implementation of aWearable MC System

Abstract

In any event, the master of ceremony (MC) plays an important role for smooth progress of the event because the immature progress makes the event unsuccessful. MC is required various abilities such as memorizing the scenario and managing accidental troubles. Moreover, since it is difficult for the unskilled MC to grasp the atmosphere among audiences, he/she cannot improve the atmosphere in the event smoothly. Therefore, we propose Wearable MC System that solves these problems using wearable computing technologies. Our system has functions to support MCs, such as a robust voice tracking function for the scenario understanding, a human interface for unimposing interaction, and a function to grasp the atmosphere. We implemented a prototype of wearable MC system and used it actually in several events. The result of actual use confirmed that our system works well and helps the MC to make the event smooth.
