In the Washington area of ​​America where the culture of founding culture is strong, many interesting gizmos actually have a strong humanistic concern. In addition to fulfilling their own interests, their invention and creation have a greater goal to improve certain disabled people or other special people. The life of the crowd.
Among the thousands of founders, two sophomores at the University of Washington, Thomas Pryor and Navid Azodi, focused their projects on the deaf group and developed a magical program for deaf and mute people. Gloves, translate sign language into speech!
This pair of gloves is called "SignAloud" and the prototype was born in a laboratory called CoMotion MakerSpace at the University of Washington. Think about what we were doing during our sophomore year. . .
The appearance of SignAloud is not much different from ordinary gloves, but it integrates sensors that record the position and movement of the hand to recognize American Sign Language gestures.
Sign language is a bridge for deaf-mute people to communicate with normal people. Although they can express their words and expressions, this technique is not something that everyone can master. Two students want to use one device to make a middle “transmission layerâ€.
After SignAloud recognizes the gesture, it uses Bluetooth to wirelessly transmit the data to the computer. The computer analyzes whether it meets a certain sign language action based on the continuous data and then reads out the corresponding word or phrase through the speaker.
The entire process may seem uncomplicated, but it can be a part of daily life for deaf-mute people as well as hearing aids and contact lenses, which greatly facilitates their daily communication.
The practice of sign language interpreters was not the first proposed by SignAloud. The innovation of the two Washington University sophomores was to redesign the original solution, greatly improving portability and ease of use.
Speaking of the next step in the development of SignAloud gloves, two undergraduates also stated that their next goal is to move words and put the system on a mobile phone. Translating sign language does not require a computer, and a mobile phone can achieve this.
SignAloud's project stands out among thousands of innovations in 77 universities across the United States, which has led to the invention of two young men who have also received the Lemelson-MIT Student Innovation Award.
Experts who reviewed the project at the time also stated that the selection of this award is not only about the invention itself, but also about its application and social significance. SignAloud satisfies these points well.
In our society, deaf-mute people need to live a normal life in an “equal†environment. Before they can only close their eyes and feel the world with only sound, they can now use voice to express what they see and hear! (Titanium Media Editor/Li Yupeng)
