a first wearable device comprising:
a first microphone configured to generate a first microphone signal;
a user interface;
a memory configured to store instructions:
a first biometric sensor; and
a processor, wherein the processor executes the instructions to perform operations, the operations comprising:
locating at least two linkable devices, wherein a first linkable device is a second wearable device that includes a second microphone and second linkable device is a first non-wearable device that includes a first sensor, wherein the first sensor is at least one of speaker or a second biometric sensor or an environmental sensor or a combination thereof;
linking the at least two linkable devices with the first wearable device, wherein the at least two linkable devices can link with the first wearable device so that the first wearable device can receive data from the at least two linkable devices, and wherein the first wearable device can control at least one of the at least two linkable devices;
receiving a first data from the second wearable device;
sending a request to the first non-wearable device to send a second data to the processor;
