CES: Krown Sign Language Translator (Boing Boing Gadgets)

More online: http://gadgets.boingboing.net

One of the first thing we actually put our hands on at CES this year was a prototype sign language translation device from Krown Manufacturing called..."The Sign Language Translator". It's essentially just a dictionary that links to videos of man signing words and letters on screen. Basic in execution, perhaps, but also potentially quite handy for teaching yourself how to sign. (I have a couple of deaf friends who can read lips or, you know, words written on paper or typed into a Sidekick.) Still: neat. Here's a direct MP4 download if you'd prefer that version.

the point of the translator is to also teach the signs.

stupid thing, why not just type a text message and hold it up for the deaf person to read the deaf and blind, lame
