Glove Translates Sign Language Into Speech and Text
Designer Hadeel Ayoub, a Goldsmiths, University of London student, created a glove that translates sign language into text and speech. Actually, she's created three different prototypes, the latest of which incorporates a text-to-speech chip to say out loud what's being signed so that the blind can actually hear the deaf. As outlined in Ayoub's full academic report, the main goal is to improve communication between "the hearing, speech and visually impaired."
The glove works by using several flex sensors attached to the fingers that record their position. An accelerometer keeps track of which way the glove is oriented. All of this data feeds into a computer program that identifies the gestures and displays the correct output.
