Universal remotes are a handy tool to have around if you have many devices that would all otherwise have their own remote controls. Merging them all into a single device …read more Continue reading IR Translator Makes Truly Universal Remote
Over the years, we’ve seen a number of experimental “smart” gloves that convert their deaf wearer’s hand gestures into text and/or audible speech. The aptly named Sign Language Translation Glove, however, is claimed to be the first mass-produced produc… Continue reading Sign Language Translation Glove may soon be coming to a hand near you
The Pocketalk translator is a super-portable Babel fish of a device that allows you to speak to people in up to 74 different languages at the touch of a button. Weighing around 3.5 oz (100 g), it’s smaller and lighter than a smartphone to car… Continue reading Review: Pocketalk translator puts 74 languages at your fingertips

The inspiration for it came from the human ability to hear music played by any instrument and to then be able to whistle or hum it, thereby translating it from one instrument to another. This is something computers have had trouble doing well, until now. The researchers fed their translator a string quartet playing Haydn and …read more
A team of students in Antwerp, Belgium are responsible for Project Aslan, which is exploring the feasibility of using 3D printed robotic arms for assisting with and translating sign language. The idea came from the fact that sign language translators are few and far between, and it’s a task that robots may be able to help with. In addition to translation, robots may be able to assist with teaching sign language as well.
The project set out to use 3D printing and other technology to explore whether low-cost robotic signing could be of any use. So far the team has …read more
