Sign language is a language through which communication is possible without the means of acoustic sounds. Instead, sign language relies on sign patterns, i.e., body language, orientation and movements of the arm to facilitate understanding between people. It exploits unique features of the visual medium through spatial Grammar.
Implementation:
The sign language translator we intend to develop uses a wireless glove fitted with sensors that can interpret the 26 English Letters in American Sign Language (ASL). The glove uses flex sensors, contact sensors, and accelerometers in three dimensions to gather data on each finger’s position and the hand’s motion to differentiate the letters. The translation is transmitted to the base station, which displays as well as pronounces the letter and also interfaces with the computer.
The glove can be used to translate gestures into words to form some essential day to day verbal phrases/sentences such Hello, Good Morning, Excuse me, Please help, Sit down, Thank you, May I help you etc. . .
