Abstract:
1. A system for promoting situational awareness enhancement, comprising: a transceiver configured for receiving a non-verbal content packet and a verbal content packet, both the non-verbal content packet and the verbal content packet being transmitted from a remote source; a vocoder communicatively coupled with the transceiver, the vocoder being configured for receiving the verbal content packet from the transceiver, the vocoder being further configured for extracting verbal content from the verbal content packet; and a situational awareness encoder/decoder communicatively coupled with the transceiver, the encoder/decoder being configured for receiving the non-verbal content packet from the transceiver, the encoder/decoder being further configured for extracting non-verbal content from the non-verbal content packet; an audio output device connected to the vocoder and the encoder/decoder, the audio output device configured for providing an audio output based on the extracted non-verbal content and the extracted verbal content; and a visual output device connected to the encoder/decoder, the visual output device configured for providing a text output based on the extracted non-verbal content, wherein provision of the verbal content packet from the transceiver to the vocoder occurs in parallel with provision of the non-verbal content packet from the transceiver to the encoder/decoder, the system linking the verbal content packet with the non-verbal content packet and synchronizing the audio output and the text output.
