Talking WIth Your Hands
We are a mighty species, equipped not only with the power to communicate through complex language, but also to convert that language into forms that even the playing field for our sense-impaired brothers and sisters. It’s what we did when we developed Braille and sign language.
And now, we’ve gone even further. A Ukranian group has developed gloves that are capable of translating sign language into speech using a computer interface! EnableTalk is a wearable technology that converts complex motions of the hands into speech, meaning that you don’t have to understand sign language to understand sign language.
More details on how it’s done at the EnableTalk website. I mean wow. Just, wow :)
