For deaf and hard-of-hearing people, voice recognition technology like Alexa and Siri can be a barrier to effective communication. Researchers have used AI to develop a tool that converts sign language to text, potentially increasing inclusivity and ac… Continue reading Beyond text: AI model digests 80 hours of video to learn sign language

Helen Keller once wrote “blindness separates people from things, deafness separates people from people,” and there are many technological projects dedicated to breaking down those interpersonal barriers. We’ve covered a number of motion-tracking gloves… Continue reading UCLA team demonstrates a wireless sign language translation glove
As William Gibson once noted, the future is already here, it just isn’t equally distributed. That’s especially true for those of us with disabilities. [Abishek Singh] wanted to do something about that, so he created a way for the hearing-impaired to use Amazon’s Alexa voice service. He did this using a TensorFlow deep learning network to convert American Sign Language (ASL) to speech and a speech-to-text converter to interpret the response. This all runs on a laptop, so it should work with any voice interface with a bit of tweaking. In particular, [Abishek] seems to have created a custom bit …read more
Sonar measures distance by emitting a sound and clocking how long it takes the sound to travel. This works in any medium capable of transmitting sound such as water, air, or in the case of FingerPing, flesh and bone. FingerPing is a project at Georgia Tech headed by [Cheng Zhang] which measures hand position by sending soundwaves through the thumb and measuring the time on four different receivers. These readings tell which bones the sound travels through and allow the device to figure out where the thumb is touching. Hand positions like this include American Sign Language one through ten. …read more
