Helping the Disabled Talking Gloves & Smart Prosthetics
Helping the Disabled CNN has an article about a set of gloves that can translate sign language into English -- Talking Gloves to Break Barriers for Deaf. There are a few other very similar projects to my knowledge. It does indeed seem quite an interesting application of pattern recognition. Another CNN article is about smart homes, where everything can be controlled centrally; Technology Takes Hold in Cyber Dream Home. Water consumption can be regulated and cut by 40% for example, and the frige can predict when it'll run out of food and draft up a shopping list. Finally, quick mention of a New Scientist feature where a paralysed leg was controlled using the neural-signals of a healthy leg (Good Legs 'Control' Paralysed Partners). The next stage is artificial control! | NewsCaster 79 posts. Wednesday 04 September, 14:32 Reply
