SPOT is an experimental human communication interface designed for astronauts in conjunction with a human-computer interaction team at NASA. The goal of SPOT is to reduce an astronaut’s cognitive load while maximizing productivity during future space exploration missions.

SPOT accomplishes this goal by reducing the reliance on vocal communication for distribution of information between astronauts with an easy to use wireless forearm mounted wearable device. This device is capable of real-time transmission of vital information such as alerts, location, and images.
