Main Idea
One of the most-discussed ideas so far is a choker-sensor. The sensor is embedded in a choker accessory so that it rests snugly around the user’s vocal cords.
Our main concerns for this are:
1) The many wires connecting the sensor to the Arduino. We might have to put the Arduino in a pocket close to the neck. A wireless Arduino board was also considered, but is unavailable as of yet.
2) The sensor would need to be very sensitive, yet durable. The sensor’s purpose is to detect vibrations from the wearer’s throat, and change the flow of the Arduino’s numerical output accordingly. The sensor would have to be able to detect small scale to large scale vibrations, and also be able to keep all the wires intact.
If this idea does not work, we have thought of making a wristband instead, so it can detect the flexing of the wrist muscles (although I do hope this idea is feasible).
Here is a (very) rough diagram of how it would be placed:
