Wired Golf Glove Translates Sign Language

[hannahlabasl]

While this is interesting and an amazing invention it is a misnomer to call it a "sign language translator." Fingerspelling is one aspect of a complete and multifaceted language. this essentially is no more than a glorified written note as it still requires the user to have english be the source language of their message: e.g. no actual translation at all.

Wouldn't it be cheaper and easier to just write on a pad? Even better would be to carry a touch screen tablet with Dragon Speak. The hearing impaired person could write or type text on the pad (which can speak the text), and the hearing person can simply speak, which in turn creates text on the screen for the user.

Please make two interactive gloves, including R-hand/L-hand dominate option for clarity, and make a simple vocabulary list for real signing, (particularly American Sign Language as that's ASL's manual alphabet you're using). Unfortunately Non-Manual Signals (necessary for understanding ASL grammar) cannot be registered by the gloves, so non-signers will have to figure it out.

I got a better invention that uses similar system of hand movement... I call it the pencil and piece of paper...

if Ryan Patterson ever read this, i wanna ask u how about letter 'j' and 'z' which involve hand movement? :)

So it only translates fingerspelling? Will you try to make one in the future that translates signs?
