Multi-modal communication system

The Multi-Modal Communication (MMC) tool was designed to alleviate the workload and errors associated with intensive radio communication environments. MMC captures, records, and displays the radio communication to the operator so that they have instant access to all current and past information. This eliminates the perishable nature of radio communication and allows the operators to focus on the task instead of remembering and writing down information. The MMC tool also employs virtual audio display technology to spatialized the multiple audio signals to aid in the intelligibility of the radio communication. The combination of these technologies has led to the design of a communication interface that will improve the performance of operators confronted with monitoring high volume of radio communication.
