Abstract
The wearable multiple sensor acquisition device is targeted as the primary sensor hub for the next revision of the MIThril wearable computer architecture. The device provides 3-axis acceleration sensing, infrared transmission and reception of Tag IDs, and a 16kHz 8bit audio stream. To be usable for wearable applications, the WMSAD is contained in a 1.3" X 1.35" package and operates at 35mA at 5V, and meets the requirements imposed by these applications. The WMSAD will operate directly with the SAK2 to provide sensor data collection and recording.
