C-Net News article on new technology called Translation Glasses
This could be THE be-all and end-all technology for deaf people. This is the HOLY GRAIL. If it works as advertised, it could change all our lives. With Translation Glasses, we would be able to use the telephone like regular people for the first time in our lives, without any dependencies on interpreters or captioning. Go to movie theaters, concerts, theaters, and basically anywhere that English is spoken.
Professor Alex Waibel's email address is:
waibel@cs.cmu.edu
I have already emailed him and offered myself as a candidate for testing of the Translation Glasses. I recommend you guys email him as well and emphasize that this could be the Holy Grail technology for deaf people and urge him to focus on the deaf community as perhaps the best testing ground for this technology.
