SMART GLOVES FOR DEAF AND DUMB(Sign-IO)

Most people probably won’t understand sign languages unless you have hearing problem or a friend or relative whose suffering from hearing loss, which is frustrating for those people who can’t communicate. Due to this reason, Roy Allela, a technology evangelist in the need to communicate with his 6-year-old niece, who was born deaf, inspired him to build the technology  Which helps to interprete signals into speech.

Roy Allela is a 25-years old Kenyan innovator, software engineer and intel program manager.

Features: The gloves can be useful for telephone calls or face–to-confront discussions, join sensors on the fingers with a controller. That breaks down hand movements noticeable all around, looks at them to a library of communication through signing. And after that creates what might as well called the sign through a cell phone.

They use flex sensors, spinners, touch sensors, and accelerometers. And can change in accordance with any type of gesture-based communication. The objective of the gloves is to permit the assessed 70 million individuals. Who use gesture-based communication to speak with individuals who don’t.

Uses of smart gloves

• The flex sensors are useful in detecting the finger motions used in sign language.
• It will serve as a medium by which deaf people can verbally communicate and connect people around them.
• It can be useful in mobile computing, speech recognition, and translation advance.
• One of the most recognizable uses of a smart glove to interact with a graphics interface.
• Smart gloves will provide hope to the deaf by making them able to participate in every activity of the general population.
