| We are making a glove which will be able to teach a person sign language. The vocabulary will consist of the alphabet and round about 20-30 words. It will have gyroscopes in each of the fingers and flex sensors throughout the length of the fingers to know the position of the fingers and that of the hands relative to each other. The information will be sent to a microcontroller via bluetooth which will determine what the person has said and check if the actions performed were correct. If the gesture is correct the LEDs (that will run along the back of your fingers) will turn green, otherwise they will be red, if only one finger is out of place in your gesture only the leds running along that finger will remain red. The other mechanism we are implementing for feedback control is haptic feedback, using a vibration motor in every glove finger, it will vibrate to alert you about the incorrect placement of your finger. The app will have a practice mode through which you can practice the gestures, and once you are confident that you know the actions, you can test yourself and the app will tell you how you fared. |
