1. A wearable coherent light sensing system, comprising:
at least one wearable coherent light source configured to direct light towards a portion of a cheek of a user;
at least one wearable sensor configured to receive light source reflections from the portion of the cheek and to output associated reflection signals;
at least one processor operable in an idle mode and in a high power mode;
wherein in the idle mode, the at least one processor is configured to receive the reflection signals from the at least one sensor, process the reflection signals to identify from reflection signals associated at least one movement in the portion of the cheek at least one trigger, and
automatically switch to the high power mode upon identification of the at least one trigger;
wherein in the high power mode, the at least one processor is configured to analyze the reflection signals from the portion of the cheek to identify facial movements associated with silent speech; and
wherein following the identification of the facial movements associated with the silent speech, the at least one processor is configured to decipher the facial movements in the portion of the cheek and generate an output associated with the silent speech.
