1. A non-transitory computer readable medium containing instructions that when executed by at least one processor cause the at least one processor to perform operations for establishing nonvocalized conversations, the operations comprising:
establishing a wireless communication channel for enabling a nonvocalized conversation via a first wearable device and a second wearable device, wherein both the first wearable device and the second wearable device each contain a coherent light source and a light detector configured to detect facial skin micromovements from coherent light reflections;
detecting by the first wearable device first facial skin micromovements occurring in an absence of perceptible vocalization;
transmitting a first communication via the wireless communication channel from the first wearable device to the second wearable device, wherein the first communication is derived from the first facial skin micromovements and is transmitted for presentation via the second wearable device;
receiving a second communication via the wireless communication channel from the second wearable device, wherein the second communication is derived from second facial skin micromovements detected by the second wearable device; and
presenting the second communication to a wearer of the first wearable device.
