This allows the wearer to hear the translation read out loud by way of a connected smartphone. UCLA scientists have developed a new type of sign language glove that will read out loud in real time. This has the potential to help hearing impaired people to enjoy direct communication with anyone, without the need for someone to translate from signing. Sensors within this one-hand wearable reads the ASL signing for translation by the app. This wearable contains a special sensor that spans throughout the length of each of the fingers…

Kenyan engineer and innovator creates gloves that could revolutionize sign language communication. A new type of wearable technology could revolutionize the way that those who are deaf and those who can hear, but who do not necessarily understand sign language, communicate. Called Sign-IO gloves, the wearable tech was invented by young Kenyan engineer and innovator, Roy Allela. The Sign-IO gloves are capable of translating sign language into audible speech. The glove has been designed to connect through Bluetooth to an Android phone and uses the device’s text-to-speech function to provide…

sign language thumbs up wearable technology

The technology of these devices is rapidly progressing and could soon allow sign language speakers to be heard. A new wearable technology has now been developed by a team of researchers at Texas A&M which has been designed to give a voice to people who had previously been limited to sign language. A new report on Reuters has described the device which employs a system of hand motion detecting sensors. This wearable technology is capable of detecting and recognizing the hand gestures of the wearer, as well as his or…
