Speaking Gloves Automated Sign Language Translation
Speaking Gloves Now here's a clever invention... in fact, it won its creator a $103,000 scolarship. It's a glove, that can be taught to translate american sign language. You place it on the hand of the test person, and get him to sign. After a few minutes, it can communicate text to a computer nearby! The article is over on Wired: A Glove That Speaks Volumes. The technology similar to that used in the mouse motion detection in Black & White. It's not clear how either of these solutions work internally, but pretty much any form of pattern recognition applied well would do the trick. Anyway, it's the initial idea that makes this invention so cool ;) Good luck to the man! | Alex J. Champandard 934 posts. Tuesday 29 January, 15:32 Reply
