contents While speech interaction finds widespread utility within the Extended Reality (XR) domain, conventional vocal speech keyword spotting systems continue to grapple with formidable challenges, including suboptimal performance in noisy environments, impracticality in situations requiring silence, and susceptibility to inadvertent activations when others speak nearby. These challenges, however, can potentially be surmounted through the cost-effective fusion of voice and lip movement information. Consequently, we propose a novel vocal-echoic dual-modal keyword spotting system designed for XR headsets. We devise two different modal fusion approches and conduct experiments to test the system's performance across diverse scenarios. The results show that our dual-modal system not only consistently outperforms its single-modal counterparts, demonstrating higher precision in both typical and noisy environments, but also excels in accurately identifying silent utterances. Furthermore, we have successfully applied the system in real-time demonstrations, achieving promising results. The code is available at https://github.com/caizhuojiang/VE-KWS.
